{"product_id":"knowledge-education-and-social-structure-shoko-yamada-9789956551217","title":"Knowledge, Education and Social Structure in Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn searching for the potential that lies in African societies, the chapters of this volume consider relationships between knowledge, education and social structure from multiple angles, from a macro-continental scale to national education systems, schools and local communities. The themes that cut across the chapters include education as a mode of transmitting values, the contrasting effects of school credentials and knowledge for use, politics and interactions among people surrounding a school and knowledge acquisition as a subjective process. The rich empirical analyses suggest that the subjective commitment of, and mutuality among, people will make the acquired knowledge a powerful 'tool for conviviality' to realize a stable life, even given the turmoil created by rapid institutional and environmental changes that confront African societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shoko Yamada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 995655121X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789956551217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Langaa RPCID\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Shoko Yamada","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993728483583,"sku":"9789956551217","price":52.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77545fac-d4a9-4c5e-8d58-a69ba70496f9.jpg?v=1683325969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/knowledge-education-and-social-structure-shoko-yamada-9789956551217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
