Book excerpt: POSTMODERNISM, POSTCOLONIALISM and PEDAGOGY offers a trenchant and sophisticated criticism of forms of educational discourse that subordinate advocacy to analysis, depoliticise the margins, and reject the struggle for social justice as a legitimate aspect of social scientific and educational practice. Pushing the limits of current educational thinking, this volume defines the Issues that will be at the forefront of educational debate in the coming decade. A timely, and controversial collection, POSTMODERNISM, POSTCOLONIALISM and PEDAGOGY is at the cutting edge of critical educational theory.
