Racialized Identities in Second Language Learning available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. *Winner of the 2019 AAAL First Book Award* Racialized Identities in Second Language Learning: Speaking Blackness in Brazil provides a critical overview and original sociolinguistic analysis of the African American experience in second language learning. More broadly, this book introduces the idea of second language learning as "transformative socialization": how learners, instructors, and their communities shape new communicative selves as they collaboratively construct and negotiate race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and social class identities. Uju Anya’s study follows African American college students learning Portuguese in Afro-Brazilian communities, and their journeys in learning to do and speak blackness in Brazil. Video-recorded interactions, student journals, interviews, and writing assignments show how multiple intersecting identities are enacted and challenged in second language learning. Thematic, critical, and conversation analyses describe ways black Americans learn to speak their material, ideological, and symbolic selves in Portuguese and how linguistic action reproduces or resists power and inequity. The book addresses key questions on how learners can authentically and effectively participate in classrooms and target language communities to show that black students' racialized identities and investments in these communities greatly influence their success in second language learning and how successful others perceive them to be.

Race, Culture, and Identities in Second Language Education available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The concept and construct of race is often implicitly yet profoundly connected to issues of culture and identity. Meeting an urgent need for empirical and conceptual research that specifically explores critical issues of race, culture, and identities in second language education, the key questions addressed in this groundbreaking volume are these: How are issues of race relevant to second language education? How does whiteness influence students’ and teachers’ sense of self and instructional practices? How do discourses of racialization influence the construction of student identities and subjectivities? How do discourses on race, such as colorblindness, influence classroom practices, educational interventions, and parental involvement? How can teachers transform the status quo? Each chapter is grounded in theory and provides implications for engaged practice. Topics cover a wide range of themes that emerge from various pedagogical contexts. Authors from diverse racial/ethnic/cultural backgrounds and geopolitical locations include both established and beginning scholars in the field, making the content vibrant and stimulating. Pre-reading Questions and Discussion Questions in each chapter facilitate comprehension and encourage dialogue.

From Being to Becoming, Becoming to Being available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This year-long instrumental multiple case study examined how four participants, from South Korea, People's Republic of China, and France, conceptualized the notion of race as newly arrived international graduate students and English language learners in the United States. The participants were graduate students who majored in areas not related to language studies at Utopia University, a predominantly White institution of higher education located in the Midwestern part of the United States. In this dissertation, I illustrate how my participants came to experience race in the U.S. as newcomers from abroad through exploring their lives in and outside of the university in their first year in residence. Drawing on Feagin's (2000) systemic racism and white racial frame (2006), and Lave and Wenger's (1991) communities of practice, I examine their socialization into new communities of practice, and the role of race in those processes. Findings showed that racialized Asian newcomers were not apprenticed to White-dominant communities of practice. However, the one white, non-Asian participant was able to gain membership into mainstream communities on and off campus partly because she was racialized as White. Racialized Asian newcomers struggled to start somewhere as peripheral participants in new communities of practice, but membership was often denied or marginalized. This study sheds light on the racialized participants' attempt to find safe spaces where they were able to form some level of friendship, and gain some level of acceptance, with English-speaking interlocutors. Although the study describes their difficulties in doing so, the racialized Asian participants were ultimately able to find safe spaces in their new environments. In this dissertation, I critically examined the theoretical framework of second language socialization used in applied linguistics and showed that second language socialization is possible only after racialized Asian participants could find safe spaces, in which they found possibilities for authentic socialization with English-speaking community members. In such spaces, White gatekeepers were found to play pivotal roles in creating and providing safe spaces. These findings suggest that there needs to be a restructuring of university campuses and a more equitable distribution of rights and responsibilities for newcomers in U.S. campuses.
