| Sumario: | Featuring in-depth examinations of concepts of knowing, learning, and education from a range of cultures worldwide, this book offers a rich theory of Indigenous concepts of education, their relation to Western concepts, and their potential for creating education that articulates the aspirations of communities and fosters humanity for all learners. "This exciting volume adds to the growing body of studies and theory on Indigenous knowledge and Indigenous epistemology in the social sciences, especially education. Situated within a critical theoretical paradigm, the editors and authors address the significance of Indigenous perspectives and concepts in knowledge creation and their potential for rethinking public education in several cultural settings in Africa, Australia, Canada, and the USA. Anyone concerned with the relevance of Indigenous epistemology in guiding education needs to read this book."--Karen Ann Watson-Gegeo, Anthropologist in Education, University of California, Davis, USA. |
