Adriany explores gender discourses in early childhood education in
Indonesia, as well as how teachers and children are engaged in the
process of constructing, negotiating, and resisting dominant gender
discourses in kindergartens. Using an ethnographic approach, Adriany
explores how both the teachers and children are doing and undoing
their gender. She adopts feminist poststructuralist and postcolonial
theories through her research and, in that context, views gender as
something fluid and unfixed. The book also investigates the
methodological aspect where the authors have both an inside and
outside perspective. Each chapter aims to present and complicate the
taken-for-granted practices in kindergartens that relate to how gender
and power are constructed. The findings of this book show the extent
to which early childhood education becomes a space for the teachers
and children to construct, negotiate, as well as resist dominant
gender discourses in kindergartens. Offering insights into local and
global contexts that shape gender values in early years, this book
will be a valuable reference for researchers, scholars, and students
in early childhood education, gender studies, and comparative
education.
