Publisher's Synopsis
In Colonial Shadows: Education's Global Legacy, we embark on a journey across continents and centuries, unraveling the intricate connections between colonization and education. Through historical analysis, case studies, and critical reflections, this book aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how colonial ideologies have shaped, and continue to shape, the way we educate.
Most importantly, this book seeks to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on decolonizing education. By amplifying voices that have been historically marginalized and highlighting movements that challenge colonial legacies, it offers a vision of education systems that are inclusive, equitable, and reflective of the diverse cultures and knowledge systems of our world.
The road to decolonized education is neither straightforward nor universally agreed upon. It requires grappling with difficult questions: What does it mean to truly decolonize education? How can societies reconcile the past while building inclusive systems for the future? And how can educators and policymakers ensure that education becomes a means of liberation rather than subjugation?
