The notion of the hegemonic web is the defining theme of the volume. In this collection, authors struggle to unravel and take apart pieces of the complex web that are so deeply embedded into normative ways of thinking, being and making meaning. They also grapple with understanding the role that hegemony plays and the influence that it has on identity, curriculum, teaching and learning. Finally, scholars included in this volume describe their efforts to engage and undergo counter-hegemonic movements by sharing their stories and struggles.
Book Synopsis Self-Study and Diversity II by : Julian Kitchen
Download or read book Self-Study and Diversity II written by Julian Kitchen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Study and Diversity II is a book about the self-study of teacher education practices in a diverse world. In this volume, the authors examine the preparation of teachers through a shared orientation to diversity grounded in a commitment to addressing issues of identity, equity, diversity, social justice, inclusion, and access in their professional practice. The first chapters are autobiographical studies in which teacher educators reflect on how their personal identities as minorities within a historically oppressive culture inform their professional practice. These powerful narratives are followed by accounts of teacher educators addressing diversity issues in the United Arab Emirates, India, South Africa, and Thailand. The closing chapters attend to the challenges of preparing teacher candidates to become inclusive educators in a diverse world. Even though each chapter focusses on a particular dimension of equity and social justice or dilemma of practice, the insights in these self-studies are relevant to all teacher educators interested in improving teacher education by respecting diversity and becoming more inclusive. Particular strengths are the diversity of authors and international scope of the book.

Book Synopsis Who Are You Without Colonialism? by : Clelia O. Rodríguez
Download or read book Who Are You Without Colonialism? written by Clelia O. Rodríguez and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a conventional book because the seed comes from the depth of the volcanic cauldron that awaits silently underneath the Lake Ilopango, the umbilical cord of our Humanity and yours. It is a scream, it is an offering, it is pain and it is love. It is a collective offering to those who are responding to a call of Liberation based on Indigenous Principles to protect and defend the land beyond theories, beyond rhetorical and metaphorical questions. This is a tiny-tiny glimpse into Lak'ech. A living testament that today, there are people buried on sand, on water, on air, on blood, among carcasses of bodies eaten by vultures—literally and metaphorically—a living testament of open wounds that heal and are traumatized again and again because you, the reader, the listener, the writer, the transcriber, the colonizer, the upholder of patriarchy and caste and class, the translator and the guardian of the door of the Master's House refuse to listen politically.
Book Synopsis The Kaleidoscope of Lived Curricula by : Karin Ann Lewis
Download or read book The Kaleidoscope of Lived Curricula written by Karin Ann Lewis and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the context of recent, and ongoing, plural pandemics such as COVID-19 up/ending lives, social and racial chaos and catastrophe, political pressures, and economic convulsions, The Kaleidoscope of Lived Curricula: Learning Through a Confluence of Crises offers a journey through a collection of scholarly reflective creative pieces--stories of lived curricula. Like a kaleidoscope filled with loose pieces of simple colored glass and objects transforming into an infinite variety of beautiful forms and patterns with the slightest turn, the collection of pieces in this book reflect images of the sky that nurtures life; sun that illuminates understanding; earth that shifts and grounds us; fire that is primal, intending to spark and extend curricular and pedagogical conversations and understandings. This book provides a lens through which to observe and experience how plural pandemics shifted the lived curricula--the colored glass and objects in the lives of others--to surface, contextualize, confront, and curate challenges, as well as celebrate the courageous and elevate and empower marginalized groups to relate, learn, and heal through stories of lived curricula. This beautiful collection brings readers to an awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the lived curricula unlike they have ever experienced before.
Download or read book BIPOC Alliances written by Indira Bailey and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BIPOC Alliances: Building Communities and Curricula is a collection of reflective experiences that confront, challenge, and resist hegemonic academic canons. BIPOC perspectives are often scarce in scholarly academic venues and curriculum. This edited book is a curated collection of interdisciplinary, underrepresented voices, and lived experiences through critical methodologies for empowerment (Reilly & Lippard, 2018). Gloria Anzaldu a’s (2015) autohistoria-teorí a is a lens for decolonizing and theorizing of one’s own experiences, historical contexts, knowledge, and performances through creative acts, curriculum, and writing. Gloria Anzaldu a coined, autohistoria-teorí a, a feminist writing practice of testimonio as a way to create self-knowledge, belonging, and to bridge collaborative spaces through self-empowerment. Anzaldu a encouraged us to focus towards social change through our testimonios and art, “[t]he healing images and narratives we imagine will eventually materialize” (Anzaldu a & Keating, 2009, p. 247). For this collection, we use lived experience or testimonios as an approach, a method, to conduct research and to bear witness to learners and one’s own experiences (Reyes & Rodrí guez, 2012). Maxine Greene’s (1995) concept of an emancipated pedagogy merges art, culture, and history as one education that empowers students with Gloria Anzaldu a’s (2015) autohistoria-teorí a to re-imagine individual and collective inclusion by allowing students “... to read and to name, to write and to rewrite their own lived worlds” (Greene, 1995, pp. 147). Greene and Anzaldu a reach beyond theorizing and creating curriculum for awareness and expand the crossings into active and critical self- reflective work to rewrite one’s own empowered stories and engage in a healing process.
Book Synopsis COINTELPRO 5.0: Unraveling the Web of Gangstalking, Deep State, Intrigues, Societal Engineering, and Surveillance Unveiled by : Charlie Armstrong Adams
Download or read book COINTELPRO 5.0: Unraveling the Web of Gangstalking, Deep State, Intrigues, Societal Engineering, and Surveillance Unveiled written by Charlie Armstrong Adams and published by Animal Politicus. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COINTELPRO 5.0: Unraveling the Web of Gangstalking, Deep State, Intrigues, Societal Engineering, and Surveillance Unveiled" is a thought-provoking exploration into the intricate world of covert operations, government surveillance, and the evolution of intelligence agencies. Spanning over 20 chapters, this comprehensive journey sheds light on the historical origins of COINTELPRO, its objectives, and its controversial continuation in the contemporary era. Beginning with an in-depth historical context, the book traces the roots of COINTELPRO, unveiling J. Edgar Hoover's involvement and exposing the revelation of government surveillance that left an indelible mark on American history. The narrative progresses to explore the evolution of COINTELPRO, drawing parallels with the 9/11 Truth Movement and delving into the controversial case of Julian Assange, revealing alleged CIA and COINTELPRO tactics. Chapters dedicated to COINTELPRO's strategies, surveillance synergy during the Nixon era, and the expansion of mass surveillance post-9/11 provide a detailed examination of the complex web of intelligence operations. The book navigates through the deep state's influence, unraveling covert networks of power beyond political leadership, and scrutinizes the intersection of politics, religion, and the Vatican's adaptive strategies. The Five Eyes intelligence alliance, domestic intelligence agencies, private intelligence firms, and collaborative efforts between intelligence agencies and the Roman Catholic Church are explored, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected world of espionage. As the narrative unfolds, it probes into psychological manipulation techniques, opposition research, and the dark side of bureaucracy within government agencies. The book takes a closer look at the impacts of COINTELPRO on mental and physical health, examining the ethical implications of collaborations between mental health professionals and intelligence agencies. From community stalking to the suppression of dissent, the book reveals historical parallels between COINTELPRO and the Catholic Inquisitors. It sheds light on societal engineering challenges, navigating the balance between progress and peril, and explores the founders of influential groups like the Bilderberg Group. In conclusion, "COINTELPRO 5.0" prompts readers to critically analyze the intersection of power, secrecy, and influence in shaping the contemporary world. This enlightening exploration challenges perspectives on surveillance, intelligence, and societal manipulation, providing a compelling narrative for those intrigued by the hidden dimensions of global affairs.
Book Synopsis Is the International Legal Order Unraveling? by : DAVID L. SLOSS
Download or read book Is the International Legal Order Unraveling? written by DAVID L. SLOSS and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grows out of the work of a study group convened by the American Branch of the International Law Association. The group had a mandate to examine threats to the rules-based international order and possible responses. The several chapters in the book-all of which are written by distinguished international law scholars--generally support the conclusion that the rules-based international order confronts significant challenges, but it is not unraveling--at least, not yet. Climate change is the biggest wild card in trying to predict the future. If the world's major powers--especially the United States and China--cooperate with each other to combat climate change, then other threats to the rules-based order should be manageable. If the world's major powers fail to address the climate crisis by 2040 or 2050, the other threats addressed in this volume may come to be seen as trivial in comparison. The book consists of fourteen chapters, plus an introduction. Three chapters address specific threats to the rules-based international order: climate change, autonomous weapons, and cyber weapons. Eight chapters address particular substantive areas of international law: jus ad bellum, jus in bello, trade law, investment law, anti-bribery law, human rights law, international criminal law, and migration law. The remaining chapters provide a range of perspectives on the past evolution and likely future development of the rules-based international order as a whole.
Book Synopsis Surveying Borders, Boundaries, and Contested Spaces in Curriculum and Pedagogy by : Cole Reilly
Download or read book Surveying Borders, Boundaries, and Contested Spaces in Curriculum and Pedagogy written by Cole Reilly and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Curriculum and Pedagogy book series is an enactment of the mission and values espoused by the Curriculum and Pedagogy Group, an international educational organization serving those who share a common faith in democracy and a commitment to public moral leadership in schools and society. Accordingly, the mission of this series is to advance scholarship that engages critical dispositions towards curriculum and instruction, educational empowerment, individual and collectivized agency, and social justice. The purpose of the series is to create and nurture democratic spaces in education, an aspect of educational thought that is frequently lacking in the extant literature, often jettisoned via efforts to de-politicize the study of education. Rather than ignore these conversations, this series offers the capacity for educational renewal and social change through scholarly research, arts-based projects, social action, academic enrichment, and community engagement. Authors will evidence their commitment to the principles of democracy, transparency, agency, multicultural inclusion, ethnic diversity, gender and sexuality equity, economic justice, and international cooperation. Furthermore, these authors will contribute to the development of deeper critical insights into the historical, political, aesthetic, cultural, and institutional subtexts and contexts of curriculum that impact educational practices. Believing that curriculum studies and the ethical conduct that is congruent with such studies must become part of the fabric of public life and classroom practices, this book series brings together prose, poetry, and visual artistry from teachers, professors, graduate students, early childhood leaders, school administrators, curriculum workers and planners, museum and agency directors, curators, artists, and various under-represented groups in projects that interrogate curriculum and pedagogical theories.

Book Synopsis Exit from Hegemony by : Alexander Cooley
Download or read book Exit from Hegemony written by Alexander Cooley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""We live in a period of uncertainty about the fate of American global leadership and the future of international order. The 2016 election of Donald Trump led many to pronounce the death, or at least terminal decline, of liberal international order - the system of institutions, rules, and values associated with the American-dominated international system. But the truth is that the unravelling of American global order began over a decade earlier. Exit from Hegemony develops an integrated approach to understanding the rise and decline of hegemonic orders. It calls attention to three drivers of transformation in contemporary order. First, great powers, most notably Russia and China, contest existing norms and values, while simultaneously building new spheres of international order through regional institutions. Second, the loss of the "patronage monopoly" once enjoyed by the United States and its allies allows weaker states to seek alternative providers of economic and military goods - providers who do not condition their support on compliance with liberal economic and political principles. Third, transnational counter-order movements, usually in the form of illiberal and right-wing nationalists, undermine support for liberal order and the American international system, including within the United States itself. Exit from Hegemony demonstrates that these broad sources of transformation - from above, below, and within - have transformed past international orders and undermine prior hegemonic powers. It provides evidence that that all three are, in the present, mutually reinforcing one another and, therefore, that the texture of world politics may be facing major changes""--

Book Synopsis Intervention before Interventionism by : Patrick Quinton-Brown
Download or read book Intervention before Interventionism written by Patrick Quinton-Brown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of liberal interventionism is over, and the prevailing international discourse is once again about defending state borders and putting up walls. This broad re-assertion of sovereignty and non-intervention—-often considered the normative foundation of the BRICS countries, of the Non-Aligned Movement, of Bandung, of the “Westphalian” South—-raises a series of difficult questions, not least about the management of challenges shared by all. How are we to make sense of re-organisations of intervention and non-intervention in global order? Recently the dominant way of approaching these issues has been through the lens of cosmopolitan or liberal-solidarist duties, including the Responsibility to Protect. Yet it seems doubtful that this framework is still capable of posing the right questions or generating the right sorts of answers. This volume offers a new approach that provincializes the conventional debate, de-naturalises what it takes as universal or given, and lays out a series of alternatives at a time when non-intervention, quite suddenly, seems everywhere in the discourse of international society. It does so through a genealogy of the intervention concept since 1945. Intervention before Interventionism is about the ways in which statespeople have re-ordered intervention and non-intervention since the middle of the twentieth century; it is concerned primarily with non-Western contestations of Western-dominated order; it illustrates institutional change in and through decolonization; and it provides a conceptual roadmap for understanding dilemmas of intervention and non-intervention today, particularly in relation to contestation as it has re-emerged in the twenty-first century. While building upon and conversing with existing literature, the book stands out from previous approaches insofar as it is a mapping of international struggles for the re-constitution of intervention in the globalization of the society of states.
