Book description
This book is a collection of papers, from some leading
educational scholars, who argue that the contemporary corporatised policies
of education, such as international education, limit the possibilities of
transformative practice. They demonstrate how the local (the national)
and the global (the imperial) are interconnected phenomena, acting upon one
another to construct indigeneity and racialised identities, and even
hybridization, in ways that engender inequalities restrict human rights, and
infringe on the democratic and civil rights of the colonised and the
marginalised. At the same time, they point to the possibilities of
resistance, conditions that provide pedagogic opportunities for the creation
of counter-hegemonic ideas, expressions, practices and structures.
