Chapter 16: Black, British and Female in the Japanese University English Classroom by Avril Haye-Matsui
Abstract
Avril Haye-Matsui offers a compelling look at life for a Black woman teaching in Japan drawing upon an autoethnographical approach. Through her narrative, she uses autoethnography to reveal her “embodied intersectionality” (Mirza, 2017, p. 40) of race and gender.
