Reviews

This book offers a thoughtful and clearly written engagement by two scholars from the US and Sweden who combine to make sense of and contribute some answers to the complexities and challenges facing schooling in South Africa, particularly in the Eastern Cape.--Mastin Prinsloo, University of Cape Town This book is a book of great timeliness. South Africa's political and educational circumstances are discussed more and more both within and outside the country. The two authors, Abraham and Barksdale, offer a most sincere and thoughtful view of primary education in South Africa, but also reflections on new curriculum constructions and research methodology. I highly recommend it for everyone interested in issues on education from a societal perspective.--Kerstin von Bromssen, University West, Sweden
