Despite international congresses and international journals,
anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world.
Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a
vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not
published in English or is difficult for international readers to
find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational
research outside the United States and to break out of
"metropolitan provincialism." A guide to the anthropologies and
ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese,
and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin
America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other
approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show,
educators draw on different foundational research and different
theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new
questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar
discipline in the United States.
