The editors of this timely book bring together a diverse collection of essays reflecting current thinking about the importance of listening to indigenous voices. The contributors emphasize the importance of indigenous knowledge and values that prioritize "the collective versus the individual" (p. 137) to counter the hegemony of Western thinking, which dominates education in colonized countries. The 20 chapters are divided into four sections: "Vision," "Relationships," "Knowledge," and "Action." Eleven chapters focus on the Maori of New Zealand, six on Canadian Natives, two on Hawaiians, and one general chapter on indigenous knowledge systems. The emphasis throughout is on higher education, including the preparation of teachers, as the editors state that the "purpose of this book is to open up dialogue so that contestation in education contexts can be acknowledged and engaged in relevant, respectful, and meaningful ways" (p. xvii). While contributors do not focus on the issue of stereotyped indigenous team mascots and other racist practices in the news today, they do argue for the worth of indigenous knowledge and the importance of creating spaces where it can be discussed and honored. Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers and faculty.
