" 'The books that mean the most to me are the books that teach us
subversion, subversion in the face of the world as it is, books
that suggest the honour of an alternative.' So said John Berger,
one of the greatest public intellectuals of his generation. Much
needed in increasingly troubled times, this book not only suggests
the honour of an alternative education, but grounds its possibility
in the contexts of local, national and international
realities."--Michael Fielding, Emeritus Professor of Education, UCL
Institute of Education
"As we look to the future and realize the urgent need to reform
schooling to create parity of participation, this is a most needed
and timely book. This collection will provoke the pedagogical
imagination of what is possible when we reframe schooling through a
social justice lens and consider the rich alternative schooling
frameworks that enable educational transformation."--Penny Jane
Burke, Global Innovation Chair of Equity, University of Newcastle,
Australia
"The insights offered by the alternative education approaches
described in Mills and McCluskey's stimulating collection are not
only invaluable to researchers, policymakers and practitioners
committed to improving this growing education sector, but will also
benefit mainstream schools around the globe."--Professor Kitty te
Riele, Deputy Director (Research), Peter Underwood Centre,
University of Tasmania
"This fascinating book highlights the global complexity and
diversity of alternative educational approaches and provision. A
strong focus on social justice directs the reader to better
understandings of education that help rather than hinder equity and
well-being."--Helen Lees, York St John University
