"This book tackles the role education can play in dealing productively and peacefully with the challenges of the "localization" as well as the globalization of difference. The authors focus on how the politics of difference influences and is influenced by educational programs and provisions in Canada and, possibly, elsewhere in the world. They also discuss how different theories of knowledge define and represent new and established notions and practices of schooling and social development."--Jacket.
