Abstract

Abstract In this paper, I draw on the ethnography of language planning and policy to consider how urban Indigenous language education might benefit from understanding the meanings and processes behind other language planning and policy activities migrant youth participate in, specifically, family language policymaking activities. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews conducted in the region of Cusco, Perú I examine the experiences of two youth from rural hometowns and of their families. My analysis discusses how family language policies influenced youth’s shifting repertoires towards and away from Quechua, how youth drew on their Quechua–Spanish bilingualism to act as family language policy agents guided by local crianza and raciolinguistic ideologies, and how youth experienced Quechua language education in urban high schools. I argue that urban Quechua education efforts need to consider how migrant youth experience and shape their bilingualism and that of their families across rural-urban continua in order to craft safe and meaningful spaces where youth can participate in the strengthening of their Quechua language practices and identities.

移民双语青年、家庭和学校语言政策:城市克丘亚教育的民族志见解

在本文中，我借鉴语言规划和政策的民族志，考虑城市土著语言教育如何从理解移民青年参与的其他语言规划和政策活动(特别是家庭语言政策制定活动)背后的意义和过程中受益。根据在库斯科地区进行的人种学田野调查和访谈，Perú我研究了来自农村家乡的两个青年及其家庭的经历。我的分析讨论了家庭语言政策如何影响青年对盖丘亚语的转换，青年如何利用他们的盖丘亚语和西班牙语双语能力在当地crianza和种族语言学意识形态的指导下充当家庭语言政策的代理人，以及青年如何在城市高中经历盖丘亚语教育。我认为，城市的盖丘亚语教育工作需要考虑流动青年如何体验和塑造他们的双语能力，以及他们的家庭如何跨越城乡连续性，以便打造安全而有意义的空间，让青年能够参与加强他们的盖丘亚语实践和身份认同。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
