Zusammenfassung:"This collection brings together adult education theorists and practitioners from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean (and diaspora from these regions) in an attempt to foreground issues, concepts, theories, and practices of adult education in Southern locations. Key contributions include contemporary theoretical implications of the works of Nyerere, Freire, Confucious, Mao, Buddhism, and African indigenous conceptions along with current discussion pertaining to globalization, citizenship, and adult education and learning in subaltern social movements. Case studies from all regions address the context-specific grounding of these theoretical and conceptual discussions, while addressing higher education, community, movement, and NGO/civil society spaces of engagement."--BOOK JACKET.
