Reviews
`In this challenging, accessible and important contribution to scholarship, Sally Findlow argues for a reconceptualisation of citizenship education, based on aã powerful critique that draws on and synthesises political, feminist, ecological and multicultural perspectives and literatures. She is to be congratulated on bringing together discussions of citizenship education policies across schooling and higher education seeking to derive 'a model of citizenship that involves localism, stakeholding, cosmopolitanism and critical multiculturalism.' Hugh Starkey, Professor of Citizenship and Human Rights Education, UCL Institute of Education, UK `Sally Findlow extends the debate on what education for citizenship and social justice need to look like in our global age, beginning by critiquing citizenship education policy and practice in England, and highlighting tensions in the policies of the UK government, and in the professional and non-governmental organisations set up to support teachers in England. She extends her discussion to encompass a wide-range of international examples and her research on women, equality, and citizenship in various Gulf States. This is an engaging and sometimes provocative text.' Audrey Osler, Professor Emerita and founder of the Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights Education, University of Leeds, UK
