Abstract

A crucial problem, hardly ever mentioned or alluded to, concerns the fact that the existing literature is lopsided in favor of discussions about the situation in industrialized countries over the past two decades. The silences in these accounts about what is occurring with regard to teaching in underdeveloped nations are troubling, particularly in the light of the emphasis ... on deconstructing modernity and globalization. (Weber 2007, 293).
