An impressive work, both methodologically and theoretically, which
brings clear novelties to the flourishing field of language teacher
identity research. This book aims to disrupt the
native-speaker/non-native-speaker binary through a study of the
construction of English teacher identities in Japan. The book suggests
that macro discourses in the Japanese context, as well as
institutional processes, are powerful forces in perpetuating
native-speakerist discourses and ascribing identity labels. However,
in self-identification and in interactions with students, the results
are found to be more nuanced, with a complex picture of identity
construction emerging that questions the binary nature of the
“native speaker/non-native speaker” duality. This complexity rests
on the intersectional nature of identity construction and highlights
the importance of taking into account the intersectionality of a
variety of identity markers when researching language teacher
identity.
