This volume offers a deep interpretation of Edward Said's literary
thought towards the development of educational criticism. Insofar
as Said's academic career was built around the contours of literary
analysis, Leonardo demonstrates how Said's work propels scholarship
on schooling in ways that enrich our ability to generate insights
about the educational enterprise. The book draws from four main
themes of Said's work - knowledge construction as part of empire,
representations and reconstruction of the intellectual, the exile
condition, and contrapuntal analysis. These themes cohere in
providing the elements of educational criticism and placing them in
the wider context of a rapidly changing sociality and educational
system. The author reviews key arguments in the field whilst
contributing new analyses designed to elicit wide-ranging
discussions. Edward Said and Education is a valuable teaching
resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of education
studies, postcolonial studies, and ethnic studies.
