Rezensionen

"This feisty collection is compulsory reading for anyone interested in Vygotsky's legacy, and Vygotskians should be prepared to be, by turns, intrigued, enlightened and infuriated by its revelations. Will the 'revisionist revolution' in Vygotsky studies ultimately triumph? Or will the revolutionaries eventually turn on one another? That remains to be seen. But whatever the revolution's fate, Anton Yasnitsky and his colleagues have ushered in a new era in Vygotsky scholarship." - David Bakhurst, Queen's University, Canada

"This book is a must-read for anyone interested in better understanding the true contribution of Lev S. Vygotsky to psychology and in separating it from the constructions and interpretations wrongfully attributed to the Russian scholar. The interdisciplinary range of contributors gives breadth and depth to the coverage." - Wolff-Michael Roth, University of Victoria, Canada
