“This book brings together a broad range of educators from different countries and of different racialised identities to examine culturally responsive pedagogy in teacher education. … This book will be of interest to teacher educators and to teachers, researchers and students interested in critical pedagogy and culturally responsive pedagogy.” (Darren Chetty, Educational Review, Vol. 70 (04), 2018)“The book is well worth reading – and not only by teacher educators and pre-and in-service teachers; it is a welcome addition to the literature that addresses decoloniality at all levels of education. … the book will be of significant interest to those who are engaging with decolonistation of the curriculum – in any context – and is recommended highly.” (Sheila Trahar, Compare  A Journal of Comparative and International, September, 2017)
