"This well-crafted anthology provides us with rich material to
stretch our thinking, concerning Sociology of Education, beyond the
customary Eurocentric framework. It is comprehensive in scope,
covering a variety of issues relevant to the educational scene in
sub-Saharan Africa. The volume draws on the work of emerging and
well established writers who focus on different areas that feature
in the educational debate in Africa: inclusive education, school
curricula, higher education, gender and equity, colonial and
anti-colonial education, and African educational philosophies. It
is a boon for scholars engaged not only in sociology of education
but also in Gender Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Curriculum
Studies, Comparative Education, Social Theory and Philosophy of
Education."--Peter Mayo, University of Malta, author of "Gramsci,
Freire and Adult Education "and "Liberating Praxis,"
This book addresses major sociological issues in sub-Saharan African education today. Its fourteen contributors present a thoroughly African world-view within a sociology of education theoretical framework, allowing the reader to see where that theory is relevant to the African context and where it is not. Several of the chapters bring a much-needed cultural nuance and critical theoretical perspective to the issues at hand. The sixteen chapters thus aim to be of interest internationally, to those who work in such fields as social and political foundations of comparative and international education, and development studies, including university professors, teacher educators, researchers, school teachers, tertiary education students, consultants and policy makers.
