Nelly P. Stromquist and Karen Monkman have revisited two decades of pedagogical and political debates about the dynamics of the global and the local in education to produce a thorough, lucid, and significant book. The editors assembled a diverse and highly qualified group of scholars that have contributed the most engaging, vivid, and in-depth discussions of key contemporary educational issues, ranging from models of understanding globalization to multiple forms of discrimination occurring in schools, and to ways of inquiring about global processes in different regions of the world. Globalization and Education is a treasure trove of the best research and wise thinking that should find its place in the toolbox of educators and scholars trying to understand how global and local dynamics are changing education in the 21st Century. -- Gustavo E. Fischman, professor, Arizona State University The book presents noted scholars who share an actor-driven and network-based understanding of globalization. Rather than seeing globalization as an external, coercive force that turns national and local actors into passive recipients and implementers of international standards and best practices, the contributors disentangle the concept and analyze in fascinating ways what globalization means and does to educational development in different contexts and countries. -- Gita Steiner-Khamsi, professor, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York I welcome the second edition of Globalization and Education: Integration and Contestation Across Cultures. Stromquist and Monkman put together a brilliant constellation of stars of comparative and international education. This book, written by 21 women and four men is full of ideas, concepts, and solid arguments that help us to better understand the dialectic between local cultures and globalization in its relation with educational systems. -- Carlos Ornelas, professor, Autonomous Metropolitan University, Mexico City
