"Revolution and Pedagogy" explores the tensions between and within the processes of revolutionary pedagogical change and continuity. Focusing on those enacting pedagogical contexts, E. Thomas Ewing's collection provides an innovative and sophisticated exploration of complex directions and forces. These revolutions include the struggle for independence in the Philippines, the Russian revolution that led to communist Soviet Union, the Egyptian campaigns against British colonial authority, the development of Kurdish national identity in the context of Turkey's modernization, radical and reformist educational movements in Western Europe and the Americas, the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, and the contemporary debate over national and religious identity in India. "Revolution and Pedagogy" examines conventional topics such as school policies and curriculum content, as well as more non-traditional pedagogies such as public celebrations of holidays, participation in international exchange programs, and the incarceration of political activists. The geographically diverse contributors from a wide range of disciplinary approaches produce interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives on education and revolution.
