Description:Applying critical kinship studies to the study of multilingual families, this book foregrounds kinship, gender, and sexuality in discussions of family language ideologies, practices, and planning and affords a new point of view on family language processes. Focusing on historically marginalized families in multilingual family research (including adoptive, single parent, and LGBTQ+), the book centers nonnormative family configurations as a way to focus on kinship processes. It explores the construction of family in private and public spheres, including interview and interactional data in homes as well as public forms of production such as memoirs, documentaries, and even comedy.
