‘Japanese society is likely to be changing and the publication of this book is timely. These chapters reveal that Japan is not a homogeneous and monolingual country rather, it is a heterogeneous and multilingual one. Readers will listen to the voices of invisible minorities who have struggled to secure their personal and/or professional identities in Japan and beyond.’

The series is dedicated to advancing critical language teacher education research that can transform the dominant practices of language teaching in educational contexts around the world. Language education has become more important than ever, to facilitate the crossing of physical and ideological borders of nation-states, and to meet the needs of increasingly ethnically and linguistically diverse student populations. This series helps inform the preparation of resilient and agentive language teachers with critical social justice orientations. It presents state-of-the-art research to support the formation of teachers who identify as democratic, social agents of formal schooling, and devoted to improving learning experiences of marginalized students. The titles in this series appeal to language teachers, teacher educators, and researchers and can be used as educational materials in graduate and undergraduate studies.
