Fanon and Education: Thinking Through Pedagogical Possibilities challenges conventional
education to go beyond the formal procedures of schooling to engage in the making of multiple
meanings of our world. Understanding education requires a holistic approach that extends beyond
contemporary classrooms. Education must also be inclusive addressing questions of difference
diversity and power as conceptualized through the lens of class ethnicity gender
disability sexuality religion language and indigeneity. These issues are thought of in the
context of Fanon¿s oeuvre to articulate a social theory and progressive educational politics
that can help us understand difference as political as well as dominant schooling as a form
of internalized oppression that works differently on myriad bodies. Fanon and Education will
have a broad appeal to readers who want to engage Fanon¿s ideas in the schooling and
educational politics of change and transformation. It should be read by all students teachers
educational practitioners community activists and researchers. This book will have a
particular appeal for educators in teacher training colleges as well as for graduate
instruction in university departments of education social work and sociology.
