Culture Education And Community

Lavia and Mahlomaholo re-examine how postcolonial theories might contribute to understandings about education in Culture, Education, and Community. They provide a critical space in which to interrogate the ways in which postcolonial voices are imagined and struggle to be valued, heard, and responded to.

The book takes the imagination of the postcolonial and the experience of postcoloniality as its focus, acknowledging that postcolonialism is a troubling, unsettling, and ambiguous concept requiring re-visiting and re-interpretation. Review: 'This book makes an important contribution to the relevance and necessity of multicultural education.

It shows how communities around the globe are struggling for the similar right to learn through their own cultural knowledge.' - Julio Cammarota, associate professor, The University of Arizona
