The Routledge Companion to Decolonizing Art, Craft, and Visual Culture Education

""This book is for those that are searching for theory, curriculum, and pedagogy through the lens of self-determination. It is divided into three sections. The authors include engaging questions at the end of the chapters that assist in providing self-reflection. …Incredible!"" Christine Ballengee-Morris, The Ohio State University, USA ""This remarkable book centers art and art education as a powerful force for postcolonialism and decolonization. With a tremendous range of diverse international voices taking up an exciting range of scholarship, the book is truly one of a kind. It is magnificently unique in its embrace of decolonization as a focus for rethinking the structures and content of education and as a rebellious text that questions the colonized norms of scholarship by offering an array of artful, reflexive, and performative texts. An utterly powerful book that all art educators must read!"" Rita L. Irwin, The University of British Columbia, Canada ""Art as a concept is not currently built upon a foundation by which diverse humans demonstrate their self-determined creative, aesthetic and meaning-making capacity. Instead, systems of colonization continue to largely limit the engagement of our imaginations across worldviews. This book is one embarkation for building the creative consciousness necessary for diverse humans finally to breathe life into art and the world.""
