Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 10, 2015). Harnessing Paulo Freireℓ́ℓs critical analysis of education and society, In Search of a Canon explores Africa and Asia, and their relationship to Europe, and Europeℓ́ℓs connection to the rest of the western world. As such, this book is situated in the tradition of critical scholars as it explores the relationship between historical processes and the development of a canon, or literature that is considered as sacred or accepted. In doing so, it intricately explores the intersection of history, religion (sacred text), race relations and education. The book uncovers the origins of the human family tree and the historical context related to the emergence of sacred literature and institutionalized systems of thought and educational processes. It presents critical dates, timelines and perspectives that are aimed at raising awareness in order to make schools and society more humane and democratic.
