Originally published in 2000. This book provides insights,
practical suggestions and clear-cut strategies for integrating
media across the K-12 curriculum. This contribution to teaching and
curriculum design uses students' own media experiences or media
vignettes from students' lives to enter teaching and learning. It
provides a road map for teachers longing to reflect and take
seriously the knowledge students bring to school from their homes
and communities, and to draw upon this background to develop
students' critical thinking, viewing and reading of written texts,
visuals, and other electronic images and messages.

Ladislaus M. Semali and Joe L. Kincheloe's edited book, "What is
Indigenous Knowledge?: Voices from the Academy" not only exposes
the fault lines of modernist grand narratives, but also
illuminates, in a vivid and direct way, what it means to come to
subjectivity in the margins. The international panel of
contributors from both industrialized and developing countries, led
by Semali and Kincheloe, injects a dramatic dynamic into the
analysis of knowledge production and the rules of scholarship,
opening new avenues for discussion in education, philosophy,
cultural studies, as well as in other important fields.

Globally, poverty affects millions of people's lives each day.
Children are hungry, many lack the means to receive an education,
and many are needlessly ill. It is a common scene to see an
impoverished town surrounded by trash and polluted air. There is a
need to debunk the myths surrounding the impoverished and for
strategies to be crafted to aid their situations. Sociological
Perspectives on Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction in
Rural Populations is an authored book that seeks to clarify the
understanding of poverty reduction in a substantive way and
demonstrate the ways that poverty is multifaceted and why studying
poverty reduction matters. The 12 chapters in this volume
contribute to existing and new areas of knowledge production in the
field of development studies, poverty knowledge production, and
gender issues in the contemporary African experience. The book
utilizes unique examples drawn purposely from select African
countries to define, highlight, raise awareness, and clarify the
complexity of rural poverty. Covering topics such as indigenous
knowledge, sustainable development, and child poverty, this book
provides an indispensable resource for sociology students and
professors, policymakers, social development officers, advocates
for the impoverished, government officials, researchers, and
academicians.
