Opis

Representing Africa and the Middle East in Social Studies Education examines the lived classroom experiences of six social studies teachers and the relevance of their discourse in framing the knowledge students receive about populations in Africa and the Middle East. Through the methodological lens of critical discourse analysis, this work illuminates the importance of teachers’ language in challenging and reinforcing portrayals that cast the diverse populations of Africa and the Middle East in the role of "the other."

Recenzje

"Both practitioners and researchers who are interested in this book should take the time to read it in a thoughtful and attentive manner, in order to understand and appreciate the many complex insights that it offers... This book should be considered required reading for critical, qualitative researchers, particularly those whose work intersects with constructs such as multicultural, global, and social justice education, and as recommended reading for teachers and curriculum developers with an emphasis on social studies education." -  Tracey Kumar, THE CURRICULUM JOURNAL
