indigenous authors, this interdisciplinary collection on indigenous
knowledge and learning is a rare attempt at bringing together
indigenous perspectives on development, education and culture and
related indigenist-critiques of compulsory modernization,
neoliberalism and colonialism from the Asia/Pacific and African
contexts of indigeneity. Organized in relation to perspectives on
knowledge and learning concerning development, formal education,
communicative mediums, and gender and health, this collection
foregrounds the rich insights and contributions of indigeneity from
India, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Nepal,
Sub-Saharan Africa, Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana.

educational research, this book frames contemporary issues and
several conceptual, theoretical-analytical and onto-epistemmic

initiatives for socio-cultural change. These include indigenous
conceptions from Berber (Algeria), Cree & Innuit (Canada),
Maori (New Zealand), Adivasi (India) and African indigenous
communities in Tanzania and Zimbabwe, while critical Euro-American
traditions address neoliberal cooptation of PAR, Habermasian
applications in higher education, critical pedagogy and critical
ecological perspectives in North America and Australia.
