World-Centred Education

World-Centred Education
Gert Biesta, "World-Centred Education"
English | ISBN: 0367565528 | 2021 | 126 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book makes an intervention in a long-standing discussion by arguing that education should be world-centred rather than child-centred or curriculum-centred. This is not just because education should provide students with the knowledge and skills to act effectively in the world, but is first and foremost because the world is the place where our existence as human beings takes place.

Workers Against Lenin Labour Protest and the Bolshevik Dictatorship

Workers Against Lenin Labour Protest and the Bolshevik Dictatorship
Workers Against Lenin: Labour Protest and the Bolshevik Dictatorship By Jonathan Aves
1996 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 1860640672 | PDF | 4 MB
This work challenges the view, widely held among historians of the Bolshevik revolution, that the upsurge of labour unrest of 1920-22 was the result of the appalling living conditions caused by the Civil War, had little significant content and was largely a sideshow to the huge conflict between the Bolsheviks and the peasants.Based on a wide reading of the contemporary Soviet press, archive sources and first-hand accounts by Bolsheviks and non-Bolsheviks, this work shows how rank and file opposition to the leadership in the Bolshevik-dominated trade unions grew, and how support for non-Bolshevik trade unions and political parties developed fast.

English | 2008 | ISBN: 9350020955, 1604860413 | 288 pages | PDF | 1.7 MB
Wobblies and Zapatistas offers the reader an encounter between two generations and two traditions. Andrej Grubačić is an anarchist from the Balkans. Staughton Lynd is a lifelong pacifist, influenced by Marxism. They meet in dialogue in an effort to bring together the anarchist and Marxist traditions, to discuss the writing of history by those who make it, and to remind us of the idea that "my country is the world." Encompassing a Left-libertarian perspective and an emphatically activist standpoint, these conversations are meant to be read in the clubs and affinity groups of the new Movement.

Winning Lebanon Youth Politics, Populism, and the Production of Sectarian Violence, 1920-1958 (Cambridge Middle East Studies,

Winning Lebanon Youth Politics, Populism, and the Production of Sectarian Violence, 1920-1958 (Cambridge Middle East Studies,
Winning Lebanon: Youth Politics, Populism, and the Production of Sectarian Violence, 1920-1958 (Cambridge Middle East Studies, Series Number 59) By Dylan Baun
2020 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 1108491529 | PDF | 4 MB
By the mid-twentieth century, youth movements around the globe ruled the streets. In Lebanon, young people in these groups attended lectures, sang songs, and participated in sporting events; their music tastes, clothing choices and routine activities shaped their identities. Yet scholars of modern Lebanon often focus exclusively on the sectarian makeup and violent behaviors of these socio-political groupings, obscuring the youth cultures that they forged. Using unique sources to highlight the daily lives of the young men and women of Lebanon's youth politics, Dylan Baun traces the political and cultural history of a diverse set of youth-centric organizations from the 1920s to 1950s to reveal how these youth movements played significant roles in the making of the modern Middle East. Outlining how youth movements established a distinct type of politics and populism, Winning Lebanon reveals that these groups both encouraged the political socialization of different types of youth, and, through their attempts to 'win' Lebanon - physically and metaphorically - around the 1958 War, helped produce sectarian violence.
