Recenzje

"Marte's concept of cimarrón pedagogy is an imaginative, much needed theoretical and practical guide to classroom teaching. Especially crucial in the present political climate in the Americas. This book combines Marte's inspirations from decolonization literatures and auto-ethnographic methodologies to create safe spaces of learning and critique. This book is a welcome addition to our ongoing concerns about effective ways to engage western epistemological legacies and engender new understandings and visions."-Aisha Khan, Professor of Anthropology, New York University
