Description
Plantation Pedagogy: A Postcolonial and Global Perspective by Laurette S. M. Bristol explores the complexities of teaching practice in the face of neo-liberal and global rationalizations. Drawing on the author's experience as an Afro-Caribbean primary school teacher, this book offers a unique perspective on education that prioritizes cultural transformation and community engagement. Bristol's work challenges traditional notions of critical pedagogy, instead highlighting the historical presence and dual nature of plantation pedagogy - both oppressive and subversive. By relocating educational transformation within the cultural arena, the author seeks to promote an interconnection among personal stories, historical narratives, and professional advocacy, ultimately advancing a decolonization project in public political education. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the challenges faced by teachers and the need for a more nuanced approach to education.
