Reviews

Motivated by 25 years of critical early childhood scholarship, pedagogy, and activism, the authors contributing to Found in Translation share conversations and relations generated by/with/through reconceptualist thought. In this very important volume, reconceptualist early childhood education and care becomings are illustrated by collaborative author projects that engage children with political knowledge and social justice in classrooms and illustrate teacher education that focuses on navigating sensitive knowledges and issues with children.ã The reader will gain insight into the multiple issues and critical possibilities that are always/already generated by reconceptualist perspectives for the 21st century. -Gaile S. Cannella, Researcher and Independent Scholar In dark times, here is light-chapter upon chapter of portraits that make visible the courageous and imaginative work of reconceptualist educators. These are stories of now, of scholars and teachers, adults and children, working together to build vibrant classrooms and a better world. Read this book to be inspired, to learn and to make your teaching all that it might. -Jonathan Silin, Author of Early Childhood, Aging and the Life Cycle: Mapping Common Groundã
