Decolonizing Solidarity in Education: Power, Difference, and Pedagogy

By Ruben Gaztambide Fernandez

Book Overview

Decolonizing Solidarity in Education challenges readers to rethink the concept of solidarity as a pedagogy which can resist and repair the damages of modern colonialism. The book draws on both seminal and contemporary scholarship, beginning with a close examination of the colonial roots of solidarity. The author then constructs a new pedagogy of solidarity to be employed in decolonizing educational projects aiding the Indigenous peoples of the Americas in their struggle against persistent colonial oppression. The book recasts the pedagogical imperative of solidarity as a critical component to effective decolonization and social justice education.
