Drawing on a wide range of international contexts, International
Education and Development provides an innovative and comprehensive
critique of developments to improve schooling in the global South.
Offering both a theoretical critique of the field and a series of
case studies, drawn from recent research, illustrating the
usefulness of a narrative approach, it generates a greater
understanding of the meta-narratives that shape development and
international education. Focusing on three periods of extensive
field work in South Africa, Bangladesh and Mauritius, this book
reflects upon the combination of narrative and biographical
approaches in different national settings. Context is provided in
three levels, meta, meso and micro, through a clear and critical
examination of the macro 'stories' of development and international
education over the past fifty years, and an examination of the role
that narrative can play at local and micro levels, looking at the
stories of individual decision makers - from children in the
classroom to education officers at the district education office -
and the opportunities and challenges of using these accounts for
research, teaching and policy-making purposes. International
Education and Development adds a global perspective to an area
dominated by a concern with the Northern industrialised world,
making it an essential text for students following courses in the
social sciences, and individuals working the field of international
education. It addresses a fundamental concern of development theory
in a unique and engaging manner. A highly original contribution to
a growing field, this book synthesises developments both in this
field and in the growing topic of narrative research.
