As a follow-up to Towards a Just Curriculum Theory and Curriculum Epistemicide , thisvolume illuminates the challenges and contradictions which have preventedcritical curriculum theory from establishing itself as an alternative to dominantWestern Eurocentric epistemologies.Curriculum and the Generation of Utopia re-visits the work of leading progressivetheorists and draws on a complex range of epistemological perspectives from theMiddle East, Africa, Southern Europe, and Latin America. Paraskeva illustrateshow counter-dominant narratives have been suppressed by neoliberal dynamicsthrough an exploration of key issues including: itinerant curriculum theory,globalization and internationalization, as well as utopianism. Foregroundingcritical curriculum theory as a vector of de-colonization and de-centralization,the text puts forth Itinerant Curriculum Theory (ITC) as an alternative formof anti-colonial, theoretical engagement.This work forms an important addition to the literature surrounding criticalcurriculum theory. It will be of interest to post-graduate scholars, researchersand academics in the fields of curriculum studies, curriculum theory, andcritical educational research.
