This book employs a narrative policy portraiture approach to recenter the stories of those involved in the Lau v. Nichols court case. It brings Chinese and Chinese American voices to the forefront, filling a significant gap in narration, representation and retrospective research within language policy and ethnic studies research.
This book employs a narrative policy portraiture approach to recenter the stories of the Chinese community involved in the Lau v. Nichols court case of 1974. This seminal Supreme Court case ruled that the failure to provide adequate and accessible instruction to approximately 1800 students of Chinese ancestry denied them the opportunity to participate in public education and constituted a discrimination on the basis of national origin. While much has been written on language education policy changes for emergent bilinguals in the US, the perspectives of the key actors involved in the case are rarely heard. This book brings Chinese and Chinese American voices to the forefront, placing the participants within the retrospective social context as they reach their own conclusions about the process and outcomes of the case. It draws upon research in language policy and Asian American studies and invites readers to imagine the social futures and possibilities for what Lau v. Nichols means for the 21st century and beyond. The volume fills a significant gap in narration, representation and retrospective research and will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in Asian American studies, bilingual education, educational policy and leadership, as well as teachers, school administrators and policymakers.

Trish Morita-Mullaney is an Associate Professor of Literacy and Language and holds a courtesy appointment in the Asian American Studies program at Purdue University, USA. Trish is a licensed K-12 teacher, instructional coach and administrator. She is Co-Associate Editor of the Bilingual Research Journal and is the Principal Investigator for the Office of English Language Acquisition grant Parental Inclusion and Language and Research. Guided by critical and feminist thought, her research examines how individuals’ claimed racial and linguistic identities shape educational decision-making for multilingual families.
