Transcultural Literacies

"""A timely, engaging read--a call to action for re-visioning socially just teaching and learning. The contributors challenge us to disrupt taken-for-granted assumptions not only about transcultural literacies, but also about how classrooms work and what goes on in them. The book's practical and theory-rich discussions demonstrate that transcultural literacies are about our way of being in relationship with others and in the world, where learning embraces imagination, empathy, wholeness, respect, connection, counter-hegemonic thought and practice, and hope."" --Dr. Susan M. Brigham, Professor, Faculty of Education, Mount Saint Vincent University ""A timely invitation to dialogue about one of the most challenging questions in contemporary schooling: How do we decolonize education to promote inclusive learning and teaching? Drawing on exciting literacy research across a range of transcultural contexts, the contributors to this volume offer valuable insights for both classrooms and communities."" --Dr. Bonny Norton (FRSC), Professor and Distinguished University Scholar, Department of Language and Literacy Education, University of British Columbia ""This book provides an important update for critical educational theory by turning to transcultural literacies. It is grounded in an accessible overview of concepts and practices and weaves through a range of educators' personal experiences. The book will be useful to teacher education programs and relevant also to graduate programs in areas such as education, sociology, anthropology, and political science."" --John Ippolito, Faculty of Education, York University"
