Summary:

"This book presents a collection of conversations with educators and activists from around the world, who are engaged with practicing and thinking about different forms of radical or alternative education for social change, and who are working in grassroots education spaces, beyond formal schooling and universities. This includes educators working in the areas of community, worker, indigenous, environmental, feminist, anti-colonial, agricultural, liberation, theatre and arts education in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. By bringing together these different perspectives, the book helps to broaden our thinking about what radical education could and should look like in the world today. The book includes an introductory overview of radical education and education in nonformal, community and grassroots contexts; as well as brief introductions to each conversation that introduces the speaker, their work, organization and context, and situates the speaker within a particular approach to radical education"-- Bloomsbury Collections
