This edited book collection disrupts received notions of
educational leadership, culture and diversity as currently
portrayed in practice and theory. It draws on compelling studies of
educational leadership from the global north and south, as well as
from a range of ethnic, religious and gendered perspectives and
critical research approaches. In so doing, the book powerfully
challenges contemporary leadership discourses of diversity that
reproduce essentialising leadership practices, binary divisions and
asymmetrical power relations. The various chapters contest and move
beyond exhortations for leadership in increasingly diverse
societies; revealing through their rich portraits of the hybridity
of leadership practice, the shallowness of diversity discourses
that are framed as something "we" (the culturally homogenous)
leader do to (heterogenous) 'others'. The volume is more than
critique. Instead it offers readers new directions and
possibilities through which to understand, theorise and practise
educational leadership in the twenty first century. In portraying
leading as a "relational practice in contexts of cultural
hybridity" (Blackmore, this volume), it extends critical theories
for and of leadership practice, examining the intersectionality
between leadership and a range of social categories, and
challenging notions of leadership as a singular construct.
Compelling research narratives reveal educational leadership
practice as nuanced, temporal, site specific and prefigured by
traditions and cultural understandings that reach beyond a
simplification of educational leadership as understood through
unitary lenses of race, gender or ethnicity. This book is essential
reading for academics and students of educational leadership and
management, as well as administrators.
