Description
Spanning 35 years, this reader includes 21 seminal works by the scholar, theorist, and activist Antonia Darder. Darder's ongoing contribution to the field of education is vast and she has helped to shape the fields of critical education, Freirean pedagogy, the critical study of race/racism, political economy, Latino studies/education, and biculturalism. Her work is informed by a deep personal history of struggle and scholarly rigor and is centred on social justice and economic democracy.
The reader is divided into five sections which group together Darder's work around the following topics:
- decolonizing interpretive methodology
- race/racism/racialization
- Latino studies
- reinventing Freire
- culture & power
Each section includes an introduction written by the editors and the volume also includes a preface and introduction from the editors, an epilogue written by Darder, a foreword written by Gilda L. Ochoa and an afterword by João M. Paraskeva.
