Warning: This book can talk.
This edited volume is about conversations that should take place about international education. Let me correct that. This book is about conversations that should have taken place about international education.
“Putting the book together, together.”1 This is how Stanley articulates the book’s communitarian aims as she puts forward the works of early career autoethnographers. Each chapter and the volume in its entirety demonstrate and invoke togetherness. Chapters are organized using three overlapping themes that differ only in emphasis. Each contribution from “Engaging with the Western ‘Academy,’” “Lingua-cultural Learning,” and “Intercultural Learning in the World” deals with issues that are also addressed differently in other chapters.
What might seem to be artificial compartmentalization could be apt, as the academy isn’t the only place where neo/colonial power relations play out to further push the subaltern to the sidelines.
The chapters speak back to the current body...
