EAST IS EAST WEST IS WEST? - GUOFANG LI KARTONI...

Focusing on four Chinese immigrant children's intersecting worlds of home literacy  culture 
and schooling  Guofang Li brings the reader into the inner worlds of these children and their
families through an ethnographic lens. Centering on the meanings that these children's home
literacy practices and their beliefs about literacy have brought upon their school experiences
this book documents the complex  multifaceted nature of the different literacy practices of
these children in their distinct family milieus. Li highlights the role of culture and family
capital in shaping home literacy practices and schooling. The illustrations of the varied  but
often frustrating home experiences counteract the schooled  Eurocentric notion of literacy that
may constrain and contradict immigrant children's learning outside of schools.
