Reviews

This book makes a very important contribution to the growing literature on how learner-centred education plays out in different contexts: in this case, the context of adult education for migrants in four European settings. The four cases (and their 'cartographies') are presented vividly. The comparisons are thoughtful and provide models of effective comparative education methods, including how to manage a framework and units of analysis. Accessible and well organised, it is an excellent resource for anyone interested in any of these themes. - Michele Schweisfurth, Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Glasgow
