This book challenges the existing notion that transnationalism is fundamentally concerned with an action; the spatial movement of people. Instead, it argues that transnationalism incorporates a mindset that has evolved over the centuries, and was psychologically manifested, if dormant, in colonised populations. Each chapter of the book focuses upon educational transnationalism as a means of empowerment for groups throughout the British Empire, and how it became, and remains, the tool for liberation by marginalised groups within formerly colonised societies.

Autorenporträt
Niranjan Casinader is Senior Lecturer in Education (Curriculum and Assessment) in the Faculty of Education at Monash University, Australia. Originally trained as a geographer, he worked as a secondary school educator for many years before moving into academia. His research is focused on three related principal strands: the notion of transnationalism in education, particularly in relation to the impact of culture on curriculum, pedagogy and thinking; the teaching of Geography and other Humanities subjects in schools; and the role of education in British colonial policy and practice, with an especial focus on its relevance to contemporary society.
