‘This book contributes to the critical need to reassess how education can better engage with inequities in knowledge exchange. It provides a new concept, ‘interculturalidad’, that asks the reader to engage with different perspectives on the world without the usual practice of rendering the ‘Other’ exotic, while the referenced cultural is invisible. As a challenge to interculturality, it reveals how power is implicated in dominant narratives in education.’ - Carol Reid, Professor of Sociology of Education, Western Sydney University, Bankstown Campus, Australia‘The proposal of using interculturalism as way to decolonise the knowledge of Western scholars, artists, activists, artists, students, organizations, and social movements from assuming epistemological imperialism is an invigorating and reflexive approach which challenges our dominant categories and privilege.’ - Martha Montero-Sieburth, Lecturer, Amsterdam University College, Amsterdam, The Netherlands‘The main strength of this book is that it represents a unique and valuable contribution to the literature. Its uniqueness lies in its being inter-epistemic rather than simply inter-cultural. This represents a balanced approach that is also more inclusive and integrative. In addition, it speaks to the sources of knowledge—very important and often ignored or forgotten aspects of education. In addition, rather than simply generally encouraging a more balanced approach, it provides a specific and developing alternative perspective—that of interculturalidad.’ - Christopher Deal, Ph.D., Visiting Assistant Professor, Louisiana Tech University, Ruston, Louisiana, USA
