Critical Studies of Education in Asia features analyses that take
seriously the complex postcolonial, historical, and cultural
consciousnesses felt across societies in Asia, and that bring these
to bear on the changing terrain of knowledge, subjectivities, and
power relations constructed both within schools and across the
public sphere. In documenting the multiple sites of conflict and
contestation both between and within states in Asia and a host of
pedagogic agents - ministries of education, state boards and
agencies, schools, teachers and teacher unions, university
departments of education, local interest groups, the media,
international standards agencies, and global educational reform
discourses - the chapters in this volume illuminate the struggles
over knowledge, education, and the work of schools. Faced with
emergent global and local forces that are determined to challenge
'official' knowledge and to offer alternative understandings of
education and society in Asia, this volume offers critical insights
for academic researchers, policy- makers, and graduate students
seeking to understand the tensions and possibilities of educational
change in the region. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Curriculum Inquiry.
