| Summary |
Annotation An ethnographic case study of two English majors of ethnic minority at YUN, a local university of nationalities in southwest China is introduced. Drawing on the theories of post-structuralism and critical multiculturalism, the work mainly studies two female multilingual individuals in Yunnan, China. By scrutinizing university policies, curriculum, personal learning histories, and by discussing the unequal power relationship between national policies, school curricula, and ethnic multilingual learners, it provides information at a micro-level on how the two ethnic minority students successfully navigate the Chinese higher education system |
