I’m very pleased to announce the publication of Social Studies in Latin America: Critical Perspectives from the Global South<\/em><\/a>. Published by Routledge and co-edited by Sebasti\u00e1n Pl\u00e1<\/a> and me, this the first book in a new series titled Social Studies and Citizenship Education in the Global South.<\/p>\n

Social Studies in Latin America<\/em> offers a path forward, for the growing collaboration in social studies education between Global North and South educators, practitioners, and researchers. In this volume, leading critical social studies education researchers from Latin America explore the constant presence of colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, and state violence. \u00a0Chapter contributors represent a large part of the continent, and offer perspectives on a wide range of topics, including; recent history and memory, cultural dimensions of social studies education, and comparative studies among Latin American countries.<\/p>\n

By bringing together this critical work in one volume, the book fosters conversation across geographic regions to transcend the national contexts for which these analyses are generally produced. This collection provides insights into issues of curriculum, teaching, teacher education and research in the region and will be of interest to readers both familiar with and new to research on social studies, history, citizenship, and geography education in Latin America.<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/h3>\n

Social Studies Education in Latin America is an achievement and an opportunity to facilitate a better exchange of ideas and more equal academic discussion. Written by leading researchers in Latin America and edited by key authorities in the field, it opens access to Latin American social studies research in their own words. The book is an essential read for social studies academics and practitioners who are open to being challenged and engaging in more ethical constructions of knowledge.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is an essential uniqueness toSocial Studies Education in Latin America\u00a0that could truly benefit social studies education in North America. We are in urgent need of a global len s and vital dialogue that examines the political, economic, and social histories inherent to Central and South America. Like none before, this book will bring to our classrooms perspectives on power and a wonderful opportunity to shift our practices.<\/em><\/p>\n

The collection of critical research on social studies in Latin America, in dialogue with global issues, makes\u00a0Social Studies Education in Latin America\u00a0an indispensable contribution to the renewal of critical social studies education.<\/em><\/p>\n

Social Studies Education in Latin America\u00a0offers readers vital insights into\u3000critical teaching and learning. The chapters call upon educators to account for the classed, gendered, and racialized nature of systems born in Empire and inequality and for the capacities of communities to learn themselves into a more just co-existence.<\/em><\/p>\n

Language has become a barrier to knowledge and exchange between research carried out in countries whose language is of Latin origin, in our case Spanish and Portuguese. It is important to promote and discuss the knowledge created in Latin America, which makes\u00a0Social Studies Education in Latin America\u00a0relevant.<\/em><\/p>\n
