Reflecting a range of approaches to hegemonic Euro-American paradigms that can be summarized as  appropriation, ambivalence and alternatives,   the authors bring African indigenous knowledge and praxes into play in addressing issues in various sub-fields of education from philosophy and gnosis to teacher education and classroom practice, memory work and storying to higher education policy and development studies, language and mathematics pedagogy to giftedness and special education. By simultaneously engaging Western and African worldviews, theory, policy and practice, the twelve essays provide an intervention in and contribution to critical approaches to education as a comprehensive global field and as an aspect of African studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rochelle Brock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433113783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433113789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 142","brand":"Rochelle Brock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485158715647,"sku":"9781433113789","price":48.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c91d45b8-991a-4a6c-84f0-d697597cdfd4.jpg?v=1778048308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dialectics-of-african-education-rochelle-brock-9781433113789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
