Raciolinguistics reveals the central role that language plays in
shaping our ideas about race. The book brings together a team of
leading scholars-working both within and beyond the United
States-to share powerful, much-needed research that helps us
understand the increasingly vexed relationships between race,
ethnicity, and language in our rapidly changing world. Combining
the innovative, cutting-edge approaches of race and ethnic studies
with fine-grained linguistic analyses, chapters cover a wide range
of topics including the language use of African American Jews and
the struggle over the very term "African American," the racialized
language education debates within the increasing number of
"majority-minority" immigrant communities as well as Indigenous
communities in the U.S., the dangers of multicultural education in
a Europe that is struggling to meet the needs of new migrants, and
the sociopolitical and cultural meanings of linguistic styles used
in Brazilian favelas, South African townships, Mexican and Puerto
Rican barrios in Chicago, and Korean American "cram schools," among
other sites. With rapidly changing demographics in the
U.S.-population resegregation, shifting Asian and Latino patterns
of immigration, new African American (im)migration patterns,
etc.-and changing global cultural and media trends (from global Hip
Hop cultures, to transnational Mexican popular and street cultures,
to Israeli reality TV, to new immigration trends across Africa and
Europe, for example)-Raciolinguistics shapes the future of studies
on race, ethnicity, and language. By taking a comparative look
across a diverse range of language and literacy contexts, the
volume seeks not only to set the research agenda in this burgeoning
area of study, but also to help resolve pressing educational and
political problems in some of the most contested racial, ethnic,
and linguistic contexts in the world.
