Strangers in the Land

The postmodern moment has meant an unprecedented acknowledgment of the importance of difference and the -other- in the constitution of human identity. Astonishingly, within critical educational studies this has not, till now, included a serious concern with Jews as either an oppressed or a marginalized group. For the first time, in this anthology, a number of leading voices in the field address the nature of Jewish experience and its connections to a radical vision for social and educational change. Bringing together both biography and social theory, the authors explore the -pedagogy- of Jewish experience, in its variety and complexity, and its connections to the transformative or critical visions they hold of education and our world."
