Abstract

In this introductory chapter, Ali A. Abdi engages the topical evolution (in conceptual and theoretical terms) of the extensive and still ongoing shifts that have affected, indeed shaped, learning structures and relationships around the world. In so doing, he presents, somewhat limitedly and within the boundaries of this space, select socio-historical readings of education, culture and related aspects of social development from the one format, western-centric and mono-epistemic learning rationalities that were in place for close to two centuries, to the currently needed possibilities of critical, multi-epistemic education. It is with this in mind that chapter attempts to provide a wide historical/global reading of the situation with the critical intention of harnessing more inclusive knowledge-epistemic-cultures and learning platforms that represent and aid the educational rights of all students. From there, the chapter provides a synoptic representation of each chapter’s contents which together locate multi-modal critical theorizations that accord the reader important and timely counter-arguments against the ‘educational house’ built by colonialism, settler-colonialism, neoliberal capitalism and their affiliated operations of monocentric learning and attached unjust linguistic and livelihood outcomes.
