Reviews

`An indispensable volume for the intellectual project of coming to terms with Vygotsky's theory and adapting it to current problems in new contexts'. - Peter Smagorinsky, The University of Georgia, USA


"‘An indispensable volume for the intellectual project of coming to terms with Vygotsky’s theory and adapting it to current problems in new contexts’. – Peter Smagorinsky, The University of Georgia, USA ‘Lev Vygotsky is one of those titans of psychology who have been grossly and unfairly misperceived. A subtly cultural and deeply politicized author, Vygotsky creatively combined Freudian and Trotskyite, developmental and linguist influences. This book gives a thorough revision of Vygotsky’s heritage, which is indispensable for everyone who reads and follows Vygotsky the psychologist’. - Alexander Etkind, European University at Florence, Italy ‘Yasnitsky and van der Veer offer a sharp polemic with ‘cultism’ in Vygotsky Studies, rooting their revisionist arguments in an original historical reconstruction and deconstruction of the Vygotskian legacy in the Soviet Union, post-Soviet Russia and the wider world. This collection of studies sheds new light on the history of the reception and promotion of Vygotsky and his ‘school’’. - Andy Byford, Durham University, UK ‘Lev Vygotsky is one of those titans of psychology who have been grossly and unfairly misperceived.

A marvelous complement to Vygotsky’s Mind in Society or Thought and Language or secondary works, such as Luis Moll’s L. S. Vygotsky and Education."" --S. T. Schroth, Towson University,CHOICE, Vol. 54 No. 2"
