Lau V. Nichols and Chinese American Language Rights: The Sunrise and Sunset of Bilingual Education

This book employs a narrative policy portraiture approach to recenter the stories of those involved in the Lau v. Nichols court case. It brings Chinese and Chinese American voices to the forefront, filling a significant gap in narration, representation and retrospective research within language policy and ethnic studies research.
