Opis

Pedagogy of Life takes its readers through the echoing stories of the half-century, historical Cultural Revolution of China to the literate lifeworld today.

Recenzje

"Rosa Hong Chen speaks from her memories of childhood suffering during the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath. Many in China still try to bury their knowledge of that trauma. Chen argues that remembering is itself an action of resistance, generating 'a powerful language of survival.' Education should help us to understand that language and to heed her warning that 'a human heart shall die away if it loses the power of remembering.'" Paul Delany, Emeritus Professor of English, Simon Fraser University
