Education, Indigenous Knowledges, and Development in the Global South: Contesting Knowledges for a Sustainable Future

By Anders Breidlid

Book Overview

Through a series of case studies, this book explores the question of whether Western educational discourse - still the dominant discourse in many countries in the global South - benefits the majority of pupils and helps promote sustainable development in these countries, or whether pedagogies rooted in more indigenous ideologies and discourses would better serve this aim.
