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 'The book is a most valuable source of information on problems facing countries in the Global South. It is very well written. I hope it will be read and discussed by students, scholars, and aid workers so that they can better understand the problems facing authorities in countries with disadvantaged groups, when structuring the education system.'- Lars Leer, Forum for Development Studies, February 2015 'This is an important book and one that will provide and provoke in equal measure.'- David Stephens, Comparative Education, January 2015 'This book is highly recommended for students in international education, for development agencies and anyone who is critical to the imposition of Western knowledge on the rest of the world.'- Birgit Brock-Utne, International Review of Education, September 2013 'Breidlids Education, Indigenous Knowledges, and Development provides fascinating insight into a number of education systems in the Global South...The book is passionately written, and is evidently the culmination of a considerable period of field research and scholarly practice.'- Patrick L.J. Bailey, British Journal of Sociology of Education, June 2013
