Curriculum: Decanonizing the Field is a fresh and innovative
collection that is concerned with the totalitarian Western Eurocentric
cult that has dominated the field of curriculum studies. Contributors
to this volume challenge dominant and counter-dominant curriculum
positions of the Western Eurocentric epistemic platform. At a time
when the field laudably claims internationalization as a must,
arguments presented in this volume prove that this
«internationalization» is nothing more than the new Western
expansionism, one that dominates all other cultures, economies and
knowledges. Curriculum: Decanonizing the Field is a clarion call
against curriculum epistemicides, proposing the use of Itinerant
Curriculum Theory (ICT), which opens up the canon of knowledge;
challenges and destroys the coloniality of power, knowledge and being;
and transforms the very idea and practice of power. The volume is
essential reading for anyone involved in one of the most important
battles for curriculum relevance – the fact that there is no social
justice without cognitive justice.
