Examining experiences at a Japanese heritage language school, a study-abroad trip to Sierra Leone, as well as in college classrooms, this book reveals the workings of unit-thinking and fetishism in diverse contexts and explores possibilities for social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neriko Musha Doerr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800736878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800736870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Neriko Musha Doerr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077511737599,"sku":"9781800736870","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1aa80117-6eca-441e-afe4-fb407f811f04.jpg?v=1685470371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fairies-ghosts-and-santa-claus-neriko-musha-doerr-9781800736870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
