Description: "This text provides a brief, yet comprehensive, overview of a number of non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. Its premise is that understanding the ways in which other peoples educate their children - as well as what counts for them as "education" - may help us think more clearly about some of our own assumptions and values, and become more open to alternative viewpoints about important educational matters."--BOOK JACKET
