"This book provides an intriguing and reflective analysis of its subject at a time when many individuals seem to have confused learning of the most narrow, technical, and superficial sort with true education." (Margaret Smith Crocco, Teachers College, Columbia University) "The depth and resonance with which the author explores the metaphor of translation and the freshness of insights about learning and teaching which the metaphor opens to the reader are truly impressive. I would literally stop in the course of my reading, with a sense of awe, pondering the diverse implications of the metaphor-which is exactly what the author invites the reader to do." (Frederick Erickson, University of California at Los Angeles) "The book is enriching and inspiring . . . It is with the utmost enthusiasm that I read and appreciate the enlightening connections Education Is Translation presents to translation scholars and educators alike." (Lillian DePaula, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Brazil) "Different readers will gain different insights from this complex and thought-provoking book." (Samantha Caughlan, Teachers College Record) "Beautifully written. It really is one of the most exciting education books I've read in a while." (Katherine Schultz, University of Pennsylvania)
