Anders Breidlid is Professor of International Education and Development at Oslo University College.

"Breidlid’s book promotes the recognition and respect of indigenous epistemologies which are reflected in the education systems of the Global South. The author insists that an education system that does not consider the indigenous knowledge and culture of learners is disconnecting them from their indigenous context and epistemologies. This book is recommended for all courses related to indigenous education."- Rev. Godrick E. Lyimo, ALTER NATIVE, January 2015
