Description
It is vital that we decolonise community education and development - learning from the past in order to challenge current discrimination and oppression more effectively. In this book, Marjorie Mayo identifies ways of developing more inclusive policies and practices, working towards social justice for the future. She also tackles the pervasive influence of the 'culture wars' undermining work in communities, including the denial of problematic colonial legacies.
Inspired by movements such as Black Lives Matter and labour solidarity, the book includes case studies from the US, UK and the Global South, outlining the lessons that can be applied to community education and development training and practice.

Reviews / Votes
'A welcome introduction to key debates in decolonisation as well as presenting an opportunity for those fully engaged in debates on social justice and decolonisation to reflect on their own practice in this field.' Educational Review "We welcome this book by one of our world's outstanding social movement adult education scholars. Dr. Mayo's study of contemporary social movement community education and how to understand it within a decolonising framework is brilliant, timely and hopeful."
