Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Liebel presents critical postcolonial and decolonial thought currents along with international case studies from countries in Africa, Latin America, and former British settler colonies to examine the complex and multiple ways that children throughout the Global South continue to live with the legacy of colonialism. Building on the work of Cannella and Viruru, he explores how these children are affected by unequal power relations, paternalistic policies and violence by state and non-state actors, before showing how we can work to ensure that children’s rights are better promoted and protected, globally.

Book Synopsis Decolonizing Place in Early Childhood Education by : Fikile Nxumalo
Download or read book Decolonizing Place in Early Childhood Education written by Fikile Nxumalo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws attention to the urgent need for early childhood education to critically encounter and pedagogically respond to the entanglements of environmentally damaged places, anti-blackness, and settler colonial legacies. Drawing from the author’s multi-year participatory action research with educators and children in suburban settings, the book highlights Indigenous presences and land relations within ongoing settler colonialism as necessary, yet often ignored, aspects of environmental education. Chapters discuss topics such as: geotheorizing in a capitalist society, absences of Black place relations, and unsettling unquestioned Western assumptions about nature education. Rather than offer prescriptive solutions, this book works to broaden possibilities and bolster the conversation among teachers and scholars concerned with early years environmental education.
Book Synopsis Decolonising Childhoods in Eastern Africa by : Oduor Obura
Download or read book Decolonising Childhoods in Eastern Africa written by Oduor Obura and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-13 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deconstructs Eurocentric narratives and showcases local voices to re-examine childhood in Eastern Africa. Moving away from portrayals of eastern African childhood as characterised by want, the author argues for a differentiated and pluralist nature of the eastern African childhood. Taking a chronological approach, the author provides a multidisciplinary critical reading of Africanist research on childhood in eastern Africa, drawing from anthropological and cultural studies, while examining writings from the pre-imperial and colonial periods. Moving into the contemporary period, the book reveals the continuity, tensions and ruptures of these portrayals in humanitarian, legal, and journalistic discourses, before exploring postcolonial writings on childhood in works by Eastern African novelists. Based on such a multidisciplinary perspective, this book will be of interest to scholars of African literature, eastern African history, critical childhood studies, museums and Africanist epistemologies.
Book Synopsis Decolonizing Botanical Anishinaabe Knowledge by : Wendy Djinn Geniusz
Download or read book Decolonizing Botanical Anishinaabe Knowledge written by Wendy Djinn Geniusz and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to study the colonization of botanical anishinaabe-gikendaasowin, anishinaabe knowledge, so that it can be decolonized, reclaimed, and made useful to programs revitalizing anishinaabe language and culture. Anishinaabe, or Anishinaabeg in the plural, is the self-designation of the American Indian people who are commonly referred to in English as the Chippewa, Ojibway, Ojibwa, or Ojibwe. A fair amount of information about how the Anishinaabeg work with plants and trees has been recorded by researchers in various fields, including anthropology and ethnobotany; however, much of this information has been colonized. Through both their elicitation of this information from Anishinaabe consultants and adaptation of it to fit into the non-native knowledge keeping systems of which they were a part, researchers have created "colonized" texts of anishinaabe- gikendaasowin. Anishinaabe people and organizations often attempt to use these texts in their language and culture revitalization programs, but they often fall short of being adequate tools of cultural revitalization. Through Biskaabiiyang methodology, developed by Seven Generations Education Institute, in Fort Francis, Ontario, this dissertation compares colonized botanical anishinaabe- gikendaasowin with that of Anishinaabe elders from communities in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Western Ontario, in order to explore a decolonization process which will be useful to the revitalization of anishinaabe culture and language.

Book Synopsis Unsettling the Colonial Places and Spaces of Early Childhood Education by : Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw
Download or read book Unsettling the Colonial Places and Spaces of Early Childhood Education written by Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unsettling the Colonial Places and Spaces of Early Childhood Education uncovers and interrogates some of the inherent colonialist tensions that are rarely acknowledged and often unwittingly rehearsed within contemporary early childhood education. Through building upon the prior postcolonial interventions of prominent early childhood scholars, Unsettling the Colonial Places and Spaces of Early Childhood Education reveals how early childhood education is implicated in the colonialist project of predominantly immigrant (post)colonial settler societies. By politicizing the silences around these specifically settler colonialist tensions, it seeks to further unsettle the innocence presumptions of early childhood education and to offer some decolonizing strategies for early childhood practitioners and scholars. Grounding their inquiries in early childhood education, the authors variously engage with postcolonial theory, place theory, feminist philosophy, the ecological humanities and indigenous onto-epistemologies.

Book Synopsis The Subject of Childhood by : Michael O'Loughlin
Download or read book The Subject of Childhood written by Michael O'Loughlin and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Subject of Childhood is a collection of essays on early childhood education/childhood studies that brings critical psychological, psychoanalytic, and cultural studies perspectives to bear on understanding the lives children live. Central concerns running through these essays are the emergence of subjectivity in the child; the complexity of conceptualizing the relationship between external cultural and social forces; and the internal sense of agency that we know that each child possesses. Together, the volume is a blending of interdisciplinary theoretical writing, personal autobiographical inquiry, and concrete examples from the author's work with teachers in schools and from his clinical practice as a child psychoanalyst. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and professionals across the English-speaking world in early childhood education, childhood education, educational foundations, and cultural studies in education, this book functions as a core text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in child development, child psychology, sociology of education, childhood studies, and early childhood education.
Book Synopsis Atlantic Childhoods in Global Contexts by : Audra A. Diptee
Download or read book Atlantic Childhoods in Global Contexts written by Audra A. Diptee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlantic Childhoods in Global Contexts explores childhood and youth in the Global South. The term childhood often conjures images of innocence, vulnerability and the need for protection, but this book suggests that, in colonial contexts, these images need to be re-examined. In fact, as the articles in this collection demonstrate, deviance, culpability, and a presumed autonomy were the more popular notions of childhood in the colonial context. These notions were held by the various actors in the colonial drama, not only colonial officials but interestingly enough often by the colonized people themselves. Furthermore, traditional notions of childhood as a period of total dependency are challenged in this collection, as the various authors explore the ways in which children were pro-active agents who shaped notions of childhood and therefore our understanding of the history of childhood. This collection provides in-depth analysis and offers new perspectives on how children were imagined and constructed (both legally and informally) in the colonial context. The contributions cover a broad geographic range that spans the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and India. Each of the authors explore the ways in which the interplay of Atlantic and Global influences shaped young people’s experiences, as well as the discourses that were used to articulate concerns about youth. The themes explored in this collection include the pathologization of childhood, juvenile delinquency, cultural creativity, and the use of child labour. The book ends with an interview by Sara Austin of World Vision Canada who discusses the ways in which the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child neglected to include the voices of children until 2014. This book was originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies: Global Currents.

Book Synopsis Die Botschaft von Kambodscha / The Embassy of Cambodia by : Zadie Smith
Download or read book Die Botschaft von Kambodscha / The Embassy of Cambodia written by Zadie Smith and published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nach ihrem großen Roman »London NW« legt Zadie Smith mit dieser brillanten Erzählung nach – ein literarischer Diamant! Jeden Montag beobachtet Fatou einen Federball, der hinter den hohen Mauern der Botschaft von Kambodscha hin und her fliegt – ein scheinbar unendlich andauerndes Match. Fatou ist auf dem Weg zum Schwimmbad, wo sie jeden Montagmorgen ihre Bahnen zieht. Neben den sonntäglichen Treffen mit Andrew Okonkwo, einem bibelfesten Studenten aus Nigeria, ist dies die einzige Stunde in der Woche, die ganz ihr gehört. Den Rest der Woche arbeitet Fatou als Haushälterin bei den Derawals, kauft ein, kocht, putzt und hütet die Kinder. Nein, eine Sklavin ist Fatou nicht. Hin und wieder wird sie geschlagen, und bezahlt wird sie für ihre Arbeit nicht, das Haus aber verlässt sie regelmäßig und ohne um Erlaubnis fragen zu müssen. Fatou ist stoisch, sie geht durchs Leben, wie sie ihre Bahnen im Schwimmbad zieht, und es scheint fast, als würde alles immer so weitergehen – bis Fatou einem der Kinder zufällig das Leben rettet und damit das eingespielte Gleichgewicht der Familie Derawal durcheinanderbringt.Mit »Die Botschaft von Kambodscha« stellt die großartige Zadie Smith einmal mehr unter Beweis, dass es manchmal nur weniger Worte bedarf, um eine große Geschichte zu erzählen. »Dieses prägnante Glanzstück zeigt einmal mehr, warum Zadie Smith im Alter von 38 Jahren zu den kenntnisreichsten, witzigsten, differenziertesten Beobachtern der post-kolonialen Landschaft zählt.« The Star
Book Synopsis Imagining Children Otherwise by : Michael O'Loughlin
Download or read book Imagining Children Otherwise written by Michael O'Loughlin and published by Rethinking Childhood. This book was released on 2010 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles is a sociolinguistic response to the recent explosion of scholarly interest in issues of identity. Identity is central to all human beings as we are all concerned with how to conceive of ourselves, present ourselves and comprehend our relationships with others. The book tackles the problem of how personal identity is made visible and intelligible to others through language, and how this may be constrained. Part One, Emblematic identities, focuses on the construction of self-definitions based on various forms of group identities, including national and ethnic ones. Part Two, Multicultural Identities, looks at negotiation of identities in multicultural contexts involving relations of power, drawing on examples from Europe and the Americas. Finally, Part Three, Emergent Identities, collects empirical studies based on a close reading of texts in which identities are being articulated and negotiated.

This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhoods at the Intersection of the Local and the Global examines the imposition of the modern Western notion of childhood, which is now deemed as universal, on other cultures and explores how local communities react to these impositions in various ways such as manipulation, outright rejection and acceptance. The book discusses childhoods in different regions of the world and boasts a range of contributors from several academic disciplines such as Sociology, Social Work, Education, Anthropology, Criminology and Human Rights, who are experts on the regions they discuss. The book argues against the notion of a universal childhood and illustrates that different societies around the world have different notions of childhood. This book is recommended reading for students, scholars and practitioners working with children in the Global South as well as internationally.
