The Nile on eBay   Democratic Education as Inclusion by Nuraan Davids, Yusef Waghid

Democratic Education as Inclusion explores how recognizing diversity allows us to engage with different perspectives and acknowledge other ways of being in the world. With greater diversity comes the opportunity to cross over into different life-worlds, and the greater the chance of ridding ourselves of our prejudices and misinformed fears.

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Political and social expectations are often stymied and distorted by individual and communal identities—creating vastly incongruent and unrelated lived experiences, often within the same context. Democratic Education as Inclusion explores how the existence and enactments of diversity continue to present ubiquitous epicenters of misreading, misrecognition, and missed opportunities for peaceful co-existence—whether in established, or nascent democracies. Nuraan Davids and Yusef Waghid study how the public sphere has never held the same meaning to all individuals or groups. As such, there are deep implications for differentiated experiences of citizenship, between those who are included in the center of the sphere, and those who are excluded on the margins. This book explains the dyadic relationship between inclusion and exclusion and how it is not limited to the public sphere, or to broader conceptions of democratic citizenship. It is as apparent in educational settings, presenting under-explored complexities not only for teaching and learning, but for the life experiences of participants in teaching-learning. Often the foundational norms put into place during educational initiations become the primary determinants of how young people conceive of themselves as citizens, and how they conceive of themselves in relation to others.

Review

While democracy is idealised around the world, equal access to the rights and sense of belonging associated with democratic citizenship remains out of reach for many people living in democratic societies today. In Democratic Education as Inclusion, Davids and Waghid consider who is included and excluded and how in democratic spaces. Drawing on a wide range of thinkers, they create a richly layered account of how identity, belonging, inclusion, and exclusion are interwoven in public spaces. In so doing, they elucidate the critical need to rethink cherished concepts like democracy and equality and troublesome ideas about race, ethnicity, and gender, reaffirming the vital task of examining education as a site for greater social justice. -- Liz Jackson, Education University of Hong KongThis wonderful volume carefully weaves together different threads around race and ethnicity, gender, intersectionality, inclusion and equality to craft a persuasive and original philosophical contribution to the field. The resulting beauty of its tapestry shows how democratic citizenship education and cosmopolitan education are not mutually exclusive, but offer an original provocation for how we might inhabit the world. Its rich and timely scholarship has profound implications not only for our schools, universities, and for the field of philosophy of education, but also for how we express our own identity, and for how we give attentiveness to the other in all its otherness. -- Amanda Fulford, Edge Hill UniversityWhile democracy is idealised around the world, equal access to the rights and sense of belonging associated with democratic citizenship remains out of reach for many people living in democratic societies today.
