Timothy Reagan (2005), Non-Western Educational Traditions: Indigenous Approaches to Educational Thought and Practice, Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc (3rd Edition)
An excellent book on non-Western educational philosophy and practice by Timothy Reagan of Roger Williams University, USA. There are not many books by a single author which deals with such a variety of educational traditions. The traditions dealt with includes (these are also chapter titles):
- "A wise child is talked to in proverbs": African
- " Training "Face and Heart": Aztec
- "Finding the True Meaning of Life": Indigenous Americans
- "Developing the Chun-tzu": Confucius and the Chinese
- "A intelligent man attends on a wise person" India
- "Familiar strangers": Rom (gypsies)
- "No gift is better than education" Islamic
We in the non-Western world needs to recover our heritage or lose it forever.
