"Banlieues" to the Suburbs: World Language Education and Linguistic Gentrification
Tebaldi, Catherine
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v51 n4 p391-404 Dec 2020
In this "reflection on the field," I use critical auto-ethnography to reflect on the process of bringing urban French vernacular to New England suburbs. I analyze teaching vernacular language as linguistic gentrification, using other people's words for the construction and continual performance of cosmopolitan whiteness. As I reflect on moving from cosmopolitan desires to critical awareness I share how my own identity is entangled in this process.
