Full Description
This timely book brings together leading international scholars to confront the enduring legacy of colonialism in education. Drawing on anti-colonial theory, they challenge the Eurocentric, patriarchal and imperial structures that continue to impact schooling, knowledge production and educational practice.
Through diverse case studies and perspectives, contributors reimagine education as a space of liberation, relationality and decolonial transformation. Chapters analyse pressing global issues ranging from epistemic violence to the carceral logics of schooling, while promoting Indigenous, Black and Global South epistemologies. Combining theory, activism and artistic expression, this book demonstrates that anti-colonial education is not just a critique but a call to action.
Understanding Anti-Colonial Education is a crucial resource for students and scholars across education studies who are interested in decolonial pedagogy. It is also an essential read for practitioners, policymakers and activists seeking to revolutionise educational futures.
