Vygotsky in Twenty-first Century Society is an ensemble of novel perspectives about the legacy
of Lev Vygotsky and Alexander Luria. The book illustrates how well the legacy of their work is
being applied and continued in contemporary research and how cultural historical theory has
been constructed and re-constructed. Together these collected essays inform a broader
discussion of how a developmentally-oriented cultural paradigm can guide learning and teaching
in social and educational policy and in group or individual counseling. Readers will find
discussions of issues in human development that have previously been overlooked. This book is
important and timely in addressing these issues and fault-lines particularly for advancing
both equity and scientific understandings.
