Reviews

In an era of environmental crisis and devastation, education that supports sustainability and survival of our planet is needed. Within a broader sociopolitical context of post-colonialism and globalization, this volume points out possibilities and challenges to achieve such an education. The authors propose a critical, postcolonial approach that acknowledges the contextual and situational production of all knowledge, and that de-dichotomizes indigenous from 'Western'scientific knowledge. - Eric (Rico) Gutstein, Professor, Curriculum and Instruction, University of Illinois at Chicago (USA)
