The essays in this collection address questions raised by a
modernity that has become global with the victory of capitalism
over its competitors in the late twentieth century. Rather than
erase difference by converting all to European-American norms of
modernity, capitalist modernity as it has gone global has empowered
societies once condemned to imprisonment in premodernity or
tradition to make their own claims on modernity, on the basis of
those very traditions, as filtered through experiences of
colonialism, neocolonialism, or simple marginalization by the
forces of globalization. Global modernity appears presently not as
global homogeneity, but as a site of conflict between forces of
homogenization and heterogenization within and between nations.
Prominent in this context are conflicts over different ways of
knowing and organizing the world. The essays here, dealing for the
most part with education in the United States, engage in critiques
of hegemonic ways of knowing and critically evaluate
counterhegemonic voices for change that are heard from a broad
spectrum of social, ethnic, and indigenous perspectives. Crucial to
the essays' critique of hegemony in contemporary pedagogy is an
effort shared by the contributors, distinguished scholars in their
various fields, to overcome area and/or disciplinary boundaries and
take the wholeness of everyday life as their point of departure.
