Research within a socio-political paradigm or turn has been gradually recognized and
institutionalized as an important part of mathematics education. This book focuses on the
neglected problems tensions and contradictions evoked by this process. The authors do this by
challenging current regimes of truth about mathematics education by identifying how recent
technological developments challenge or suspend contemporary conceptions of mathematics
education by critiquing the ideological entanglement of mathematics its education and
schooling with capitalism by self-reflective analyses of researchers' impacts on shaping what
is and can be perceived as the practice of mathematics education (research) and by confronting
main-stream mathematics education with socio-political contexts that are usually neglected. In
this way mathematical rationality becomes contextualized within contemporary society where it
reproduces itself through technologies social practices media and other spheres of social
life.
