商品簡介
The essays in this volume are mostly written in the first person and focus on the role of self-study and social action in the area of education. Editors Mitchell (education, McGill U.) and Pithouse and Moletsane (Gender and Development Unit of the Human Services Research Council of South Africa), offer diverse perspectives on the self in memory, (re)positioning the self, creative (re)presentations of the self, and ultimately the development of self-knowledge. They present research and case studies throughout and provide substantial references to existing literature. The essays tend to fall into the realms of critical pedagogy and postmodernism.
