There is growing awareness of the need for constructive social change. Education could play a major role, but what it was missing, is now offered by this must-read book: A pedagogy of global social justice that would empower teachers, academics, and civil society organizations across diverse settings. * Namrata Sharma, Adjunct Professor of Education, State University of New York, USA * In his inspiring book Doug Bourn engages academic and practitioners with the ongoing debate over interpretations of social change approaches. His pedagogy of global social justice demonstrates in a hard-hitting, insightful and heartening way that a more just and sustainable world is possible through education. * Massimiliano Tarozzi, Full Professor, University of Bologna, Italy * With this book, Douglas Bourn makes a valuable contribution to the burgeoning field of global justice and education. By pulling together a range of traditions within the social reconstructionist camp, this work provides an expansive view of the democratic purposes of schooling. Highly readable, this timely scholarship promises to strengthen the relationship between schools and contemporary world issues. * John Myers, Associate Professor of Social Science Education, Florida State University, USA *
