Book
Indigenous philosophies and critical education : a reader / edited by George J. Sefa Dei ; foreword by Akwasi Asabere-Ameyaw.
"This reader pulls together ideas concerning Indigenous epistemologies (e.g., worldviews, paradigms, standpoints, and philosophies) as they manifest themselves in the mental lives of persons both from and outside the orbit of the usual Euro-American culture. The book engages Indigenous knowledges as far more than a «contest of the marginals», thereby challenging the way oppositional knowledges are positioned, particularly in the Western academy. Subsequently, this book is a call to recognize and acknowledge Indigenous knowledges as legitimate knowings in their own right, and not necessarily in competition with other sources or forms of knowledge. The project offers an opportunity for the critical thinker to continue on a decolonial/ anti-colonial intellectual journey in ways informed by Indigenous theorizing."--Publisher.
