Geometry from Africa (Classroom Resource Materials)
Gerdes presents us a rare mathematical gift.  Through him we learn of the diversity, richness and pleasure of mathematical ideas found in sub-Saharan Africa.  From a careful reading and working through this delightful book, one will find a fresh approach to mathematical inquiry as well as encounter a subtle challenge to Eurocentric discourses concerning the when , where, who and  why of mathematics.    --Arthur Powell, Rutgers University
