Klappentext
A volume in TeachingLearning Indigenous, Intercultural Worldviews:nInternational Perspectives on Social Justice and Human RightsnSeries Editor: Tonya Huber-Warring, St. Cloud State University, MinnesotanFor readers new to the field of multicultural education and human relations education, the recency of thesenpublications heralded as seminal may be confusing, for certainly the concepts building the field of multiculturalneducation and human relations education have been around much longer. True. But, for the first time, wenfound the conceptual framework, guiding principles, and critical works across disciplines and fields in Smith'snencyclopedic organization. Because of the comprehensive nature of Pritchy Smith's knowledge bases, theynhave been employed as the organizing themes for this volume. I would clarify that I have not burdened authorsnto study Smith's analysis and then apply it to their works; the categorization is my own. And, as is true of anyntopic, the interpretation and application may be broadly applicable. One of my major goals in founding thisnseries has been to further develop the knowledge bases with voices from those in the trenches (literally andnfiguratively) and at the chalkface-while proverbial for some parts of the world, chalk remains a teaching staplenin many regions of the world. The pages of the TeachingLearning Indigenous, Intercultural Worldviews:nInternational Perspectives on Social Justice and Human Rights book series will be used to build the knowledge bases for diversity concerningnplaces and peoples, philosophies and positionalities not commonly appearing in the professional literature on education.nThroughout this volume, authors will explore and research their own discoveries on this journey-narratives of crossing cultures and developing communities,nreconceptualizing democracy and reinterpreting traditions, seeking solidarity and sowing the seeds of social justice. Through critical reflectionnin the shade of these giants, the reader may discover Ming Fang's bamboo tree.
