Working Towards Decolonization, Indigeneity and Interculturalism

Editors: Fatima Pirbhai-Illich, Shauneen Pete, Fran Martin

Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan, 2020

This book convincingly argues that effective culturally responsive pedagogies require teachers to firstly undertake a critical deconstruction of Self in relation to and with the Other; and secondly, to take into account how power affects the socio-political, cultural, and historical contexts in which the education relation takes place. The contributing authors are from a range of diaspora, indigenous, and white mainstream communities, and are united in their desire to challenge the hegemony of Eurocentric education and to create new educational spaces that are more socially and environmentally just. – Palgrave MacMillan
