ADULT EDUCATION<br />
African Perspectives on Adult Learning series<br />
About the series<br />
African Perspectives on Adult<br />
Learning is a groundbreaking series<br />
designed for use in the training<br />
of African adult educators. This<br />
series puts the African context at<br />
the centre of adult education topics.<br />
It foregrounds the importance of<br />
African philosophies, indigenous<br />
knowledge systems, traditions<br />
and cultures and accounts for the<br />
impact of colonialism and liberation<br />
struggles. Neo-colonialism and<br />
globalisation provide examples<br />
of the policies and practices that<br />
characterise adult education<br />
across the continent.<br />
The books are designed as course<br />
textbooks for use in face-to-face<br />
teaching environments. Case<br />
studies,<br />
examples and individual and group<br />
activities encourage interactive<br />
teaching and learning approaches<br />
