本文介绍了一项针对外国儿童的日语辅导项目的调查的一个方面。在这里，我借鉴了一项更广泛的、为期三年的民族志研究，该研究针对三个拉丁美洲家庭进行，这些家庭的孩子就读于三所日本公立小学。本文试图从家庭的角度理清孩子就学中的种族、性别和语言问题。 2003年至2006年间，我们对受访者进行了46次集体/个人访谈，并进行了广泛的参与观察。其中两个家庭的母亲是与日本公民结婚的哥伦比亚妓女；另一个家庭的母亲是与日本公民结婚的哥伦比亚妓女。第三个是一个哥伦比亚家庭，他们的签证已经过期。访谈分析中使用了布迪厄关于不同形式资本的概念，这表明教育是了解这些家庭状况的关键。尽管受访者在日本学校遇到了困难，但据报道，上学是打破种族、性别和语言“圈地”普遍影响的一种手段。
This article presents one aspect of an investigation concerning a Japanese language-tutoring programme for foreign children. Here, I draw on a wider, three-year ethnographic study that was conducted with three Latin American families whose children attended three public Japanese primary schools. This article attempts to disentangle issues of ethnicity, gender and language in the children’s schooling from the families’ perspective. A total of 46 group/individual interviews with the informants and extensive participant observation were conducted from 2003 to 2006. In two of the households the mothers were Colombian prostitutes married to Japanese citizens; the third was a Colombian family who had overstayed their visas. Bourdieu’s notion of different forms of capital is used in the analysis of the interviews, which suggested that education was key to understanding the circumstances of these families. Although the informants encountered difficulties at Japanese schools, schooling was reported as a means to break the pervasive influence of their ethnic, gender and language ‘enclosures’.
