Conventional wisdom holds that globalization has made the world
more modern, not less. But how has modernity been conceived of in
colonial, postcolonial, and post-revolutionary worlds? In
"Figurations of Modernity," an international team of scholars probe
how non-European worlds have become modern ones, from the
perspective of a broad range of societies around the globe. From
vocational education in Argentina to secular morality in Tibet,
from the construction of heroes in Central Asia to historical
memory in Nigeria, this comprehensive volume reckons with the
legacy of empire in a globalizing world. Enhanced by the
perspectives of historians, anthropologists, and scholars of
comparative education, "Figurations of Modernity "will be an
essential book for those studying post-colonial nations across
disciplines.
