Great Muslim Leaders presents Islamic-informed alternatives to
Eurocentric Christian understandings of education and educational
leadership. It does so by interrupting and displacing the West's
centuries long dismissive stance and monolithic gaze on Islam by
showcasing outstanding diverse Muslim leaders across space and
time. Each chapter focuses on a single leader, and includes a
biographical sketch; a discussion of their context and activities
as a leader; key lessons readers can learn from their leadership,
and recommendations that are relevant for teachers and educational
leaders. This collection of Muslim leaders, chosen by Muslim
scholars, brings to education discourse the breadth of Islamic
intellectual history, giving the book a global appeal and
facilitating a sharing of innovative and classic ideas across
cultures, faith traditions, and national boundaries. Great Muslim
Leaders introduces to readers Muslim intellectuals, spiritual
leaders, philosophers, poets, artists, activists, scientists,
celebrities, politicians, educators, film makers, historical
figures, theorists, and academics whose lives have positively
shaped their community, society, and the world. Their lived
experiences are underpinned by deep spirituality and faith,
revealing the significance and import religious belief has on moral
and ethical action. The book concludes with seven lessons that cut
across the chapters that encapsulate the immense value Islamic
spirituality and faith bring to education and leadership.

The chapters in Urban Educational Leadership for Social Justice:
International Perspectives constitute a collection of works that
explore dynamics related to equity in multiple contexts. Authors
examined these issues in Turkey, Egypt the United States, Thailand
and at a global level by comparing and contrasting school
leadership practice across borders. Considered as a whole, these
papers explore various topics that will be at the forefront of
educational research for years to come. Increasingly,
educationalleadership understand that there are important lessons
to be learned internationally and globally. This book includes
important research conceived from these perspectives. Our hope is
that individually and collectively, they might contribute to our
understanding of international and global issues in educational
leadership and that they will extend, challenge and deepen extant
lines of inquiry and begin others.

While nation engages in debates concerning central issues of
religion and religious diversity in education, the historic
saliency of religion and spirituality in the Black community and in
the education of its children continues to be largely ignored.
Historically, religion and spirituality were foundational to the
development and understanding of social justice issues, including,
but not limited to, issues of protest, community up-lift, notions
of care, and anti-oppression. Taking into account the historical
significance of religion and spirituality in the Black community,
it is essential for education scholars to cultivate these
long-standing connections as a means for advancing contemporary
struggles for social justice, religiosity in education, and
counter-hegemonic praxis. The purpose of this book is to expand our
understanding of spirituality and religion as related to the p-20
schooling of Black students. Educational scholarship continues to
explore the workings of social justice to ameliorate inequities for
those who have not been wellserved in schools. Although the concept
of social justice remains a somewhat inchoate term in educational
literature, this book seeks to explore the historicity of religion
and spirituality while offering a scaffold that links ordinary
everyday acts of justice, religion, and spirituality in education
to a culture that systematically and institutionally assaults the
worth of Black students. It is important to note that this book is
grounded in a broad concept of religion and spirituality and the
editors seek to be inclusive of all types, styles, and traditions
of religiosity and spirituality.

Globalization and Education: Teaching, Learning and Leading in the
World Schoolhouse explores the various ways educators' work is
influenced by globalization. This book presents topics and contexts
traditionally marginalized in mainstream education research
discourses and shows how local and global education issues are
intersecting and shaping the ways in which ideas and practices are
shared around the world. Each chapter presents an educational issue
in an understudied international context, such as Saudi Arabia,
Guyana, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, and Nepal. Topics
range from how the knowledge industry shapes education in schools
to the impact of globalization on school leadership, teaching, and
learning. We invite scholars and practitioners to join us in the
world schoolhouse, a place where discussion about educational
understanding and improvement is not bounded by national borders,
school systems or language. This book will both challenge and
expand thinking about the complexities of education during a time
of globalization and change.
