Around the world, curriculum - hard sciences, social sciences and
the humanities - has been dominated and legitimated by prevailing
Western Eurocentric Anglophone discourses and practices. Drawing
from and within a complex range of epistemological perspectives
from the Middle East, Africa, Southern Europe, and Latin America,
this volume presents a critical analysis of what the author,
influenced by the work of Sousa Santos, coins curriculum
epistemicides, a form of Western imperialism used to suppress and
eliminate the creation of rival, alternative knowledges in
developing countries. This exertion of power denies an education
that allows for diverse epistemologies, disciplines, theories,
concepts, and experiences. The author outlines the struggle for
social justice within the field of curriculum, as well as a basis
for introducing an Itinerant Curriculum Theory, highlighting the
potential of this new approach for future pedagogical and political
praxis.
