Bagchi, Barnita; Eckhardt Fuchs; Rousmaniere, Kate, ed. Connecting Histories of Education: Transnational and Cross Cultural Exchanges in Post-Colonial Education. Oxford: Berghahn Books, 2014.

== Summary ==
This
collection of essays highlights the interconnectedness of histories of
education in the modern world. It uses a transnational history of education
located in a non-Eurocentric framework to examine the encounters taking place
between south Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and the Americas. Each chapter
shows that transnational discourses and cross cultural transfer have never been
unidirectional but are characterized by adaptation, re-conceptualization, and
hybridization. '''
Example: Simone
Holzwarth analyses the way in which Indian Independence movement perceived the
ideas of Reform Pedagogy and tried to adapt them to an Indian context. Gandhi’s
“Nail Talim” was proposed as the national model. It was an educational system
that combined intellectual work and manual labor, with the goal of achieving
Indian self sufficiency and ending the caste-based social hierarchy. The principles
of Nai Talim developed in an international context of progressive education
discourses. Connections between Tagore, Marjorie Sykes, and Marie Anee Peterson
(Denmark).
