Supporting Asian American Students in Multicultural Contexts

Chaehyun Lee is Associate Professor at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, USA. Her research interests include bilingual and multilingual education, social justice and equity education.

Drawing on ten years of teaching in language heritage schools and multiple research projects, Lee offers busy practitioners a well-written and comprehensive guide to concepts such as translanguaging, transnational and transcultural identities, and Critical Race Theory. Her clear definitions and illustrative examples make this text ideal for educators who want to be well-informed about serving bilingual children, especially children from Asian families.
