George J.S. Dei – författare

This thought-provoking book outlines the pedagogical value of African storytelling. It demonstrates that African wisdom has historically been part of violent colonial elimination, leading to the ontological expendability of these stories and them being excluded, forgotten, and devalued in academic circles.George Dei, Dionisio Nyaga and Juliana Kami critically examine the industrialisation of knowledge and the fallacy of a singular epistemological truth. Using key examples and case studies, they represent storytelling as a necessary and ethical methodology of knowledge production. Chapters delineate how, in light of global expansion and transnational movement, formerly subjugated stories from across the continent are breaking boundaries beyond the colonial confinement of Africa. In doing so, the global education system is learning from African Indigenous education and departing from the Eurocentric belief that truth is singular. This inspiring book illustrates the multiple truths that are told through everyday African riddles, proverbs, teachings and songs in ways that give credence to African realities and values in a global village.Innovative and incisive, African Storytelling for Global Citizenship Education is an essential read for students and scholars at the intersection of educational philosophy, development and postcolonial studies. Teachers and professionals in policy and citizenship education will also benefit from its valuable insights.

This timely book brings together leading international scholars to confront the enduring legacy of colonialism in education. Drawing on anti-colonial theory, they challenge the Eurocentric, patriarchal and imperial structures that continue to impact schooling, knowledge production and educational practice.Through diverse case studies and perspectives, contributors reimagine education as a space of liberation, relationality and decolonial transformation. Chapters analyse pressing global issues ranging from epistemic violence to the carceral logics of schooling, while promoting Indigenous, Black and Global South epistemologies. Combining theory, activism and artistic expression, this book demonstrates that anti-colonial education is not just a critique but a call to action.Understanding Anti-Colonial Education is a crucial resource for students and scholars across education studies who are interested in decolonial pedagogy. It is also an essential read for practitioners, policymakers and activists seeking to revolutionise educational futures.
