Postcolonial Perspectives on Global Citizenship Education

Applying postcolonial theory as a framework of analysis, this volume offers critiques of notions of development, progress, humanism, culture, representation, and identity, examining the implications of these critiques for pedagogical theory and educational practice.

This volume bridges the gap between contemporary theoretical debates and educational policies and practices. It applies postcolonial theory as a framework of analysis that attempts to engage with and go beyond essentialism, ethno- and euro-centrisms through a critical examination of contemporary case studies and conceptual issues. From a transdisciplinary and post-colonial perspective, this book offers critiques of notions of development, progress, humanism, culture, representation, identity, and education. It also examines the implications of these critiques in terms of pedagogical approaches, social relations and possible future interventions.
