Translating Childhoods, a unique contribution to the study of immigrant youth, brings children to the forefront by exploring the "work" they perform as language and culture brokers, and the impact of this largely unseen contribution. Skilled in two vernaculars, children shoulder basic and more complicated verbal exchanges for non-English speaking adults. Readers hear, through children's own words, what it means be "in the middle" or the "keys to communication" that adults otherwise would lack. Drawing from ethnographic data and research in three immigrant communities, Marjorie Faulstich Orellana's study expands the definition of child labor by assessing children's roles as translators as part of a cost equation in an era of global restructuring and considers how sociocultural learning and development is shaped as a result of children's contributions as translators. 410 0$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 606 $aChildren of immigrants$xLanguage 606 $aTranslating and interpreting 606 $aImmigrants$xLanguage 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChildren of immigrants$xLanguage. 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting. 615 0$aImmigrants$xLanguage. 676 $a306.874086/912 676 $a306.874086912 700 $aOrellana$b Marjorie Faulstich$01040302 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456584703321 996 $aTranslating childhoods$92463045 997 $aUNINA
