Education in 'multicultural' Societies.
Turkish and Swedish Perspectives
eds. Marie Carlsson, Annika Rabo & Fatma Gök
ISBN
9789186884208, £25
Contents:
For more than a century education has been considered the linchpin of modernity and intimately linked
to the development of both the nation and the individual
citizen in that nation. For more than a century
educational debates have also
underlined the crisis and obstacles in organising and transmitting the “right”
kind of education. In this volume Turkish and Swedish researchers contribute to
the analysis of these issues
in the two different but also similar national contexts.
Both Turkey and Sweden can be considered multi-
cultural societies but the
meanings and expressions of this are contested both within and across the two
national contexts. This volume contributes to the critical analysis of education
framed in sections focusing
on challenges in multicultural education, educational
institutions and identity formations and strategies for
empowerment. The
volume consists of an introduction, thirteen chapters and two appendices concerned
with the development of education in Turkey and Sweden respectively.
The contributors work in the fields
of education, sociology, religious studies,
linguistics, anthropology, folklore and cultural studies. Gender,
informal education,
religion and education, nationalism, ethnicity, youth and adult education as
well as
analyses of textbooks and educational reforms constitute important
topics in the articles.
