Recenzje

"«Engendering Cosmopolitanism Through the Local» by Jacquelyn Chappel is a timely book that engages with the complexities of cosmopolitanizing the teaching of literature through the use of international literature. The book usefully distinguishes between multicultural and global education as well as world literature and international literature while acknowledging the overlaps among these terms. A key strength of the book is the examples of cosmopolitanism-on-the-ground through rich and nuanced examples of the ways teachers attempt to introduce international literature and the challenges that occur as teachers attempted to connect foreign culture with students' lived experiences. The book provides an original and important contribution to the ever-growing field of cos-mopolitan studies in English education." Suzanne Choo, Assistant Dean and Assistant Professor, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University
