Publisher's Synopsis
Music Education, Social Justice, and the Global South provocatively explores the complex, multidimensional nature of social justice and the challenges adapted in educational music contexts around the world. The tensions created by critical engagement with its concepts and practices provide unique opportunities for music educators to develop learners who can respond to the challenges of an increasingly globalised landscape. Applying critical engagement with its concepts and practices and looking beyond lines on the map across diverse countries and communities, particularly those that have negotiated colonialization and that value Indigenous ways of knowing and being into the spheres of education philosophy, policy, and practice, this book stimulates thinking about ways to create more equitable, inclusive, accessible, and emancipatory practices in music education.
