Reviews
Each of the contributors to this courageous and ground-breaking book grapple with the question of what it means to be human. Drawing on their own unique histories they carefully choreograph a set of powerful ideas and arguments to lay the foundations for a different kind of social imaginary based on the values of radical love. * Barry Down, Adjunct Professor of Education, University of South Australia, Australia *
Critical Pedagogy for Healing is well constructed, deep and detailed. It focuses on much needed attention to healing and self in academia, community, and school-based educational settings. The strengths of the book are the vast array of knowledge and representation of communities. Powerful chapters offer insights not usually available to educational communities. * Patricia Paugh, Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA *
A stimulating and overdue introduction to pedagogies for healing justice. Grounded in the world of learning practices located outside the force field of heteropatriarchal white Eurocentric education that obscures them, this book re-orients critical pedagogy towards the reverence and defence of life itself. * Sarah Amsler, Associate Professor in Education, University of Nottingham, UK *
