ABSTRACT
Pushing Back In this book’s first chapter, I pointed to the importance of two fundamental acts, seeing the world relationally and repositioning oneself. Any attempt at understanding the connections among the three terms which make up this book’s title-global crises, social justice, and education-has its basis in these acts. And our roles in supporting serious attempts at interrupting the relations of dominance and subordination in so many regions and nations require that we push back against those ideological and social forces that are trying so very hard to destroy the collective memories, programs, and visions that things could be better than they are today.
