About the Book

This special issue focuses on indigenous education in the Americas. At its inception the idea of an issue focused especially on indigenous education, identity, and epistemologies seemed timely and appropriate. The mass movements of indigenous peoples across the Americas represent a diaspora of such magnitude that it is necessary to attempt a theoretical discussion around issues of identity, space, tradition, and time that could encompass the great diversity representative of indigenous communities and peoples without losing a focus on the local. The goal of this special issue is to provide multiple avenues to approach the academic conversation around the largest group of people in the American continent: indigenous America in all of its heterogeneic spaces.
