The rapidly changing educational reality requires a constant search for answers to questions about the quality of education and the challenges it faces now and in the future. Authors, experienced academics, young scientists and specialists in multicultural education, have prepared an important monograph, which is highly interesting. Its content introduces new knowledge to the theory and practice related to the issues of education and the challenges of the multicultural world. In my view, the work will fi nd recognition in the scientifi c community and is worth recommending to educators, candidates for teachers, theorists, but also to education practitioners.

These texts show that the understanding of the world goes far beyond the Western-Eurocentric understanding of the world; as they account for diverse ways of navigating the challenging times of globalization. To give voice to groups far too often silenced and to practices considered subaltern is a fi rst step towards recognition and cognitive justice. Understanding these diverse trajectories is necessary for a truly plural approach if we want our societies to rise to the challenges posed by multiculturalism in the 21st century. In conclusion, I recommend this book for publication as it is a valuable contribution to inter-cultural dialog and innovative approaches to diverse aspects of social inclusion.
