Celebrating diversity, realizing alternatives
pp. 1-8
Abstract
This book is about the celebration of diversity in all its human forms, specifically in relation to mathematics and mathematics education: culture, ethnicity, gender, forms of life, worldviews, cognition, language, value systems, perceptions of what education is for. All of which are reflections of the unavoidable (yet often denied) reality that mathematics education is politics.
