This book-an ethnographic and discourse analytic study of an
after-school video-making project for 1.5- and second-generation
Southeast Asian American teenagers--explores the relationships
among stereotype, identity, and ethnicity that emerge in this
informal educational setting.
Working from a unique theoretical foundation that combines
linguistic anthropology, Asian American studies, and education, and
using rigorous linguistic anthropological tools to closely examine
video- and audio- recorded interactions gathered during the
video-making project (in which teen participants learned the skills
for creating their own video and adult staff learned to respect and
value the local knowledge of youth), the author builds a compelling
link between micro-level uses of language and macro-level
discourses of identity, race, ethnicity, and culture. In this study
of the ways in which teens draw on and play with circulating
stereotypes of the "self" and the "other," Reyes uniquely
illustrates how individuals can reappropriate stereotypes of their
ethnic group as a resource to position themselves and others in
interactionally meaningful ways, to accomplish new social actions,
and to assign new meanings to stereotypes.
This is an important book for academics and students in
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse analysis, and
applied linguistics with an interest in issues of youth, race, and
ethnicity, and/or educational settings, and will also be of
interest to readers in the fields of education, Asian American
studies, social psychology, and sociology.
