Reviews

Work that explores decolonialism is absolutely needed. The strengths of this book include coverage of general postcolonial issues; the multiple and traveling positions, identities, and subjectivities that are experienced by postcolonial scholars; and the possibilities for reconceptualizing research as a movement toward decolonialism. - Gaile S. Cannella, coauthor of Childhood and Post-Colonization: Power, Education, and Contemporary Practice The authors make a number of major points about the nature of research, the subtle pervasiveness of dominance and power in education and educational settings, and the importance of multiple voices in ethnographic and qualitative research. - Frank C. Worrell, University of California at Berkeley

The authors make a number of major points about the nature of research, the suble pervasiveness of dominance and power in education and educational settings, and the importance of multiple voices in ethnographic and qualitative research.
