Chicana/Latina Education in Everyday Life
Feminista Perspectives on Pedagogy and Epistemology
About This Book
Winner of the 2006 Critics' Choice Awards presented by the American Educational Studies Association This groundbreaking volume explores both Chicana/Latina feminist definitions of teaching and learning, and ways of knowing in education. The book's contributorsâChicana/Latina feminist scholarsâreinterpret the field of education as inter- and transdisciplinary and connected to ethnic, racial, and womanist scholarship. They examine mujer- (women-) centered definitions of pedagogy and epistemology rooted in Chicana/Latina theories and visions of life, family, community, and world. Armed with the tools of Chicana/Latina feminist thought, the contributors link cultural studies theories to critical/feminist pedagogies by re-envisioning the sites of pedagogy to include women's brown bodies and their agency.
