Connecting cultures to educational settings is an essential
component of critical pedagogy. This book addresses many of the key
issues and challenges in decolonizing the African school
curriculum. It highlights important philosophical arguments on the
challenges and possibilities of achieving these goals in a
meaningful manner. Topics covered in the book include:
operationalizing the key terms of "inclusion" and "curriculum"
strategies for Africanizing the school curriculum, and the
implications of local knowledge for schooling reform. This book
also raises a variety of key questions: how do we frame an
inclusive anti-colonial African future and what is the nature of
the work required to collectively arrive at that future? what
education are learners of today going to receive and how will they
apply it to their schooling and work lives? how do we re-fashion
our work as African educators and learners to create more relevant
understandings of what it means to be human? how do we challenge
colonizing and imperializing relations of the academy? What are the
possibilities and limits of counter-visions of education? how do we
make school curricula inclusive through teaching, research and
graduate training in questions of Indigeneity and multi-centric
ways of knowing? The book identifies specific areas of an
"inclusive/decolonized curriculum agenda" through educational
programming and reform. It is essential reading to any student or
teacher concerned about understanding the many facets of an African
school curriculum.
