This edited volume highlights the rich and complex educational debates around Critical Disability Studies in Education (DSE), critical mental health, and crip theories. Chapter authors use the term Dis/ability to criticize aspects of education research and international development that do not center the experiences of dis/abled students and people with dis/abilities. Through case studies from around the Americas, chapters highlight how top-down approaches to disabilities further oppress rather than emancipate. The volume prioritizes the spaces of resistance where local initiatives speak back to the demands imposed by an ever-globalizing world shaped by colonialism and imperialism, undergird by intersectional ableism. Voices of disabled students and people with dis/abilities counter-narrate the personal, interpersonal, structural, and political ways in which biomedical and psychological models of disability have impacted their well-being throughout education and society in the Americas. Through a critical sentipensante approach that centers the “epistemologies of the south,” this volume challenges global mental health and dis/ability hegemony in the Americas.

This book centers on the stories and histories of buen vivir (“good living”) in education in Ecuador, focusing on how Indigenous and Afrodiasporic Peoples have strategically engaged with state educational initiatives to advance their own epistemic and political projects. It examines the ideas of buen vivir in Fundamental Education programs destined to “better the lives” of the rural population in Ecuador in the 1960s and 1970s. After the bureaucratization of buen vivir in Ecuador and Bolivia, a regional wave of critique problematized the idea, yet the historical resonances of governmental uses of buen vivir with previous modernization projects have been understudied. Moving beyond a national framework, it offers a comparative and transnational perspective on how the notion of rural has been constructed through modernizing reason. The education experiences explored here are memory on strategies of resistance against dispossession and racism, as well as spaces of organization and affirmation of knowledge.
