Whose Education for All?: The Recolonization of the African Mind

by Birgit Brock-Utne

Whose Education for All?: The Recolonization of the African Mind by Birgit Brock-Utne is one of the most authoritative, critical and incisive books I have read on the ecology of donor-recipient relationship, language issues, and globalization within the context of educational systems in Africa. The book scrutinizes the contentious interaction between donors and recipients, effectively argues for the need to raise the status of local languages as a medium of instruction, and extensively explores and questions the quality, content, and consequence of the African education system. - Dantew Teferra, PhD
