At one level, this book examines the inventory of global issues, dimensions,and debates discussed by educators, curriculum practitioners, and researchersin two U.S. journals, Social Education and The Social Studies, since 1990. Atanother level, the study explores the conceptualizations, metaphors, andframes through which the global is rendered. The texts analyzed in thisqualitative study are regardded as a disocurse community unified by acommon focus on how to conceive and educate about globalization. For thescholars and practitioners in social studies education and global education,the book illuminates how the ways in which globalization is informed andimagined constrain or expand the possibilities for human agency to influencethe very course of globalization, making the limits of the political imaginationmore visible and thus open for critique. By illustrating how representations ofglobalization are carriers of different ontological presuppositions andideological assumptions, the book highlights the relationships, identities, andethics that has been legitimized about globalization and the skills, content,and values that has been rendered as essential in global education.
