Many recent studies treat the "heritage language learner" as an objective category. However, it is a social construct, whose meaning is contested by researchers, school administrators and the students themselves. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in 2007-2011 at a weekend Japanese language school in the United States, this monograph investigates the construction of the heritage language learner at the intersections of the knowledge-power complex, ideologies of language and national belonging, and politics of schooling. It examines the ways individuals become, resist and negotiate their new subjectivity as heritage language learners through becoming objects of study, being caught in nationalist aspirations and school politics regarding what to teach to whom, and negotiating with peers with various linguistic proficiency and family backgrounds. The volume proposes a new approach to view the notion of heritage language learner as a site of negotiation regarding the legitimate knowledge of language and ways of belonging, while offering practical suggestions for schools. 410 0$aContributions to the sociology of language ;$v103. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$zUnited States 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aLanguage teachers$xTraining of$zUnited States 606 $aJapanese language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 610 $aHeritage Language School. 610 $aJapanese. 610 $aLanguage Education. 610 $aSociolinguistics. 610 $aSubjectivity. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 615 0$aLanguage teachers$xTraining of 615 0$aJapanese language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 676 $a495.680071/073 700 $aDoerr$b Neriko, $01596370 701 $aDoerr$b Neriko Musha$f1967-$01596371 701 $aLee$b Kiri$01596372 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824104203321 996 $aConstructing the heritage language learner$93917718 997 $aUNINA
