Description
Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: Working towards Decolonization, Indigeneity and Interculturalism by Fatima Pirbhai-Illich, Shauneen Pete, and Fran Martin is a thought-provoking exploration of effective teaching practices. The authors argue that culturally responsive pedagogies require a critical examination of power dynamics and their impact on education. By deconstructing the self in relation to others and considering the socio-political contexts in which education takes place, teachers can create more just and equitable learning environments. This book brings together diverse perspectives from diaspora, indigenous, and white mainstream communities, challenging Eurocentric education norms and promoting intercultural collaboration. This book will be of interest to policy-makers, researchers, teacher educators, and pre- and in-service teachers seeking to develop critical and culturally responsive pedagogies.
