Black Teachers of English(es) in Japan - Transnational, Professional and Pedagogical Encounters

This book examines the trajectories of a transnational group of teachers of African descent who live and teach English in Japan. The author argues that while multiculturalism and diversity within ELT in Japan may seem to be gradually improving, raciolinguistic native-speakerism still affects the livelihood of racialized teachers.
