Publisher Description: Bringing together a group of international researchers from two educational sub-disciplines - History of Education and Intercultural Education - the contributions to this volume provide insights into the (pre-)history of intercultural issues in education across a vast range of historical, national-geographical and political contexts. The anthology takes its readers on a fascinating journey around the globe, presenting case studies from Asia, Africa, Europe and America. The coherence of the journey is found in recurring themes and questions, such as: How does the discourse on multiculturalism or intercultural learning construct the norm and the Others in these educational settings? Who has the power of definition? And what are the functions and effects of these processes of Othering? |
