Symbolic violence in socio-educational contexts A post-colonial critique

The quote on the front cover comes from Clifford Geertz, "Interpretation of Cultures" 1973 and accompanies the illustration, which is meant to resemble the entanglement of people in different social, educational, ideological, historical, structural, political, economic and symbolic ropes, that have an influence on our place, our world view and our opportunities. The fragility of our world is captured in the glass form of our globe. The awareness of power hierarchies and the willingness to think outside of our own cultural boundaries, brings hope for a brighter & more transparent future.
We wish to thank our readers for their consideration and the individual chapter writers for the spirit of cooperation.
