Beyond Yellow English Toward a Linguistic

Beyond Yellow English is the first edited volume to examine issues of language, identity, and culture among the rapidly growing Asian Pacific American (APA) population. The distinguished contributors-who represent a broad range of perspectives from anthropology, sociolinguistics, English, andeducation-focus on the analysis of spoken interaction and explore multiple facets of the APA experience. Authors cover topics such as media representations of APAs; codeswitching and language crossing; and narratives of ethnic identity. The collection examines the experiences of Asian PacificAmericans of different ethnicities, generations, ages, and geographic locations across home, school, community, and performance sites.

Angela Reyes is Associate Professor of English, Hunter College.
Adrienne Lo is Assistant Professor of Educational Psychology, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
