Recenzii

A highly variegated collection of ways to view schooling in the Caribbean ... I very much enjoyed the book's diverse perspectives towards schooling. I believe the volume readily fulfils the editor's hope that it will not only provide readers with ''information on specific Caribbean countries, but, more importantly, stimulate debates, discussions, and research that inspires all to examine education in the 'local' context''.
This highly informative collection makes an important contribution to the literature on education in the Caribbean region. It draws upon locally grounded research and insightful theoretical analyses. In doing so, this book plays a valuable role in bringing the perspectives and experience of small states into the international arena.
This is a truly user-friendly manual, authored by a range of knowledgeable essayists who, cooperatively, have managed to efficiently capture in one volume the eclectic temperament that delineates education in the Commonwealth Caribbean and Netherlands Antilles. Exceptionally enlightening and interesting, it eschews many of our cultural ethnocentric misconceptions - a boon for the notion of cultural relativity. Policy-makers, practitioners, academics, general readers - and politicians - will want and ought to have their personal copy.
This book, edited by Emel Thomas, is a timely compendium of resources on Caribbean education. Twenty-two valuable research essays by experts from a wide range of countries discuss how the societies of the Commonwealth Caribbean and Netherlands Antilles made significant gains, after colonialism, in modernizing education. Some essays also critique current barriers to progress as well as recommend reform, providing a welcome stimulus to debate and further research.
