Education cannot be understood today without recognizing that
nearly all educational policies and practices are strongly
influenced by an increasingly integrated international economy.
Reforms in one country have significant effects in others, just as
immigration and population tides from one area to another have
tremendous impacts on what counts as official knowledge and
responsive and effective education. But what are the realities of
these global crises that so many people are experiencing and how do
their effects on education resonate throughout the world?
Global Crises, Social Justice, and Education looks into the ways
we understand globalization and education by getting specific about
what committed educators can do to counter the relations of
dominance and subordination around the world. From some of the
world 's leading critical educators and activists, this timely new
collection provides thorough and detailed analyses of four specific
centers of global crisis: the United States, Japan,
Israel/Palestine, and Mexico. Each chapter engages in a powerful
and critical analysis of what exactly is occurring in these regions
and counters with an equally compelling critical portrayal of the
educational work being done to interrupt global dominance and
subordination. Without settling for vague ideas or romantic slogans
of hope, Global Crises, Social Justice, and Education offers real,
concrete examples and strategies that will contribute to ongoing
movements and counter-hegemonic struggles already active in
education today.
