Description: This new edited collection aims to improve educational practices in pluralistic contexts by substantively engaging African proverbs, Indigenous folktales, and cultural stories in curricular and pedagogical decisions.
Review Quotes:
"This book bridges between a theoretical resource and a teaching resource in a way that I have seldom, if ever, seen elsewhere in a single resource, connecting social justice theory on the one hand and pedagogical practice in the form of teacher-friendly units on the other. It is also unique in the way that it uses African proverbs and cultural stories as a gateway to broader cultural experiences."
--Philip S. S. Howard, Assistant Professor, Department of Integrated Studies in Education, McGill University
"The research-to-practice link in this book is of vital importance for educators. A strength of this work is that it is based on providing a deep understanding of the transformations teachers undergo in producing decolonized, Indigenous, anti-racist, culturally relevant approaches in curriculum development."
--Dolana Mogadime, Associate Professor, Department of Educational Studies, Brock University
