National Book Critics Circle Award FinalistA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOKONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, The Economist, The New Republic, and The Pittsburgh Post Gazette&ldquo;A masterpiece. . . . One of the few novels that feel as though they have made a difference to the world.&rdquo;&mdash;Colm T&oacute;ib&iacute;n, The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;A boundary-pushing novel. . . . Like all great literature, it is an act of generosity, opening itself to every human possibility. . . . Grossman invites us to look beneath the shrill headlines, beyond the roadblocks, within the clenched fist&mdash;to see Israel&rsquo;s predicament not as &lsquo;the situation&rsquo; but as many situations, one for every person.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Enthralling. . . .&#160;Unsparing yet compassionate . . . Grossman&rsquo;s electrifying narrative seems excruciatingly timely. . . . Unforgettable. . . . The unstudied beauty and psychological complexity of Grossman&rsquo;s language, his deft and lively dialogue, are utterly compelling. . . . Rendered in Jessica Cohen&rsquo;s exquisite translation, Grossman&rsquo;s symphonic novel straddles despair and hope, a journey into inner and outer landscapes, delivering stunning rewards.&rdquo;&mdash;The Miami Herald &ldquo;Magnificent. . . . A powerful meditation. . . . Foremost among Grossman&rsquo;s achievements is the creation of Ora, a modern-day Scheherazade and icon of the mourning mother.&rdquo;&mdash;The Seattle Times&ldquo;Grossman&rsquo;s greatest fictional creation [is] Ora: tender, passionate, angry, funny, self-doubting, intuitive, above all a woman of &lsquo;abundance.&rsquo; . . . [Her story] encompasses both the complex fullness of one life and the broader history of Israel&rsquo;s modern conflicts. . . . This most Israeli of Grossman&rsquo;s novels is also his most universal.&rdquo;&mdash;George Packer, The New Yorker&#160;&ldquo;A tour de force. . . . Unforgettable. . . . [Grossman&rsquo;s] best.&rdquo;&mdash;The Star-Ledger&#160;&ldquo;Penetrating. . . . Grossman has produced a sprawling novel that stretches over nearly 35 years of Israeli history. Along with war and peace, life and death, Grossman reckons with the emotional and sexual geometry of Israelis, particularly the secular liberals now in middle age, much like their author.&rdquo;&mdash;Newsday&ldquo;This is a story of love and friendship, family and society, parents and children, life and death. And war and peace. . . . Whether lushly descriptive, emotive or narrative, Grossman&rsquo;s writing is both controlled and passionate. . . . Ora&rsquo;s voice is authentic and true, honed to perfection.&rdquo;&mdash;Chicago Jewish Star&#160;&ldquo;Profound. . . . A reminder of what Israel&mdash;what any country&mdash;is capable of doing to its sons.&rdquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe&#160;&ldquo;There are some writers in whose words one recognizes the texture of life. David Grossman is such a writer. He is a master of the emotionally accurate and significant. His characters don&rsquo;t so much lie on the page as rise before the reader&rsquo;s eyes, in three dimensions, their skin covered in prose that both stabs with insight and shines with compassion.&rdquo;&mdash;Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi&#160;&ldquo;Moving. . . . A convincing portrait of maternal grit and ingenuity in a time and place of relentless challenge. . . . In this powerful book, there are surprising answers of a kind, but the ongoing strife goes on.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Times&#160;&ldquo;Very rarely you open a book and when you close it again nothing can ever be the same. Walls have been pulled down, barriers broken, a dimension of feeling has opened in you that was not there before. David Grossman has the ability to look inside a person and discover the unique essence of her humanity; his novels are about what it means to defend this essence against a world designed to extinguish it. To the End of the Land is his most powerful, unflinching story of this defense.&rdquo;&mdash;Nicole Krauss, author of The History of Love&ldquo;A courageous and powerful antiwar novel.&rdquo;&mdash;Kansas City Star&ldquo;Grossman&rsquo;s most ambitious work to date. . . . His imagination is secular, worldly, self-questioning and ironic. The Israel he imagines, beautifully and sorrowfully, is not going to be saved by any divine intervention.&rdquo;&mdash;The Economist&#160;&ldquo;Bold and uncompromising, this great emotional rush of a story sings and cries, exults and mourns.&rdquo;&mdash;The Forward&#160;&ldquo;An extraordinary epic of love, war, and sorrow. . . . Stunning&mdash;brilliantly written and beautifully constructed.&rdquo;&mdash;The Times (London)&#160;&ldquo;A deeply serious, utterly honest work about the state of Israel.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Times&#160;&ldquo;Flaubert created his Emma, Tolstoy made his Anna, and now we have Grossman&rsquo;s Ora&mdash;as fully alive, as fully embodied, as any character in recent fiction. I devoured this long novel in a feverish trance.&rdquo;&mdash;Paul Auster, author of Invisible

To the End of the Land

David Nyaluke, Barbara O’Toole, and Ebun Joseph bring together a heterodox group of concerned scholars who are on fire for social and cognitive justice to explore contemporary problematic education discourse and challenge resilient dominant racist discourse. Africa is their legitimate epistemic site because of its misrepresentations, exposure to stereotypes and even epistemicides. The powerful anthology invites us to rethink not only education discourse but also pedagogy as it pushes for decolonial educational transformation.Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, author of Epistemic Freedom in Africa: Deprovincialization and Decolonization (Routledge, July 2018)Challenging Perceptions of Africa in Schools adds to the growing literature integrating broader concerns of education, development, equity, and social justice. Contributions in this collection cover a complex array of topics, engaging the reader’s interest in the challenges and possibilities of counter hegemonic knowledge, subversive pedagogy, decolonial education, and the intersections of knowledge, justice, race, and education. The interrogation of global education brings to the fore salient questions about knowledge, representation, and the politics of authentication of postcolonial realities in Africa and the Global South for that matter. Scholars reading this book, no doubt, will come out with more probing questions about the coloniality of global justice education itself, starting to probe additional questions: What are the redemptive qualities of global education? And, what does global justice education mean for the search for new educational futures? The book is a recommended read for all scholars working on global justice education.George J. Sefa Dei, Professor of Social Justice Education & Director, Centre for Integrative Anti-Racism Studies Fellow, Royal Society of CanadaChallenging Perceptions of Africa in Schools challenges the racial and cultural hierarchies that dominate Western research and education about Africa and Africans. It is a ‘call to arms’ for decolonising the epistemologies and pedagogies that pathologise and subalternise people of African, Black and Brown descent. It takes readers outside the comfort zone of Eurocentrism and Whiteness, and the deficit narrative that has pervaded much of so-called ‘development education’ in particular. The book is an invaluable resource for educators as it offers a counter-epistemological perspective on the politics of knowledge and pedagogies in White societies about Africa, and people of African descent. It is not only of value to those who do ‘Global Justice Education’, however, it is a tool box for exploring the privileging of discourses, ways of thinking and ways of living that are contingent on violating peoples and the natural world in the name of modernisation, growth, and progress. It demonstrates how the practice of development-as-charity is contingent on the perpetuation of one’s own privileges, reinforcing the colonial matrix of power.
