Review :
This ground-breaking book is at once provoking and informative. The concept of 'Knowing from the Inside' reminds us that all we seek to know stems from the place we call 'home'. This book will stimulate debates and synergies amongst scholars across disciplines but it will also invite reflection from those who are interested in the powers of art and anthropology to lead our gaze, to pay attention, that is, to educate. This fascinating, disturbing and urgently-needed book compels us to reconsider what education is really about. Developed in a spirit of generous-minded exploration which dismantles traditional boundaries, the book challenges unhelpful divisions between 'knowing' and 'doing' and demands that we rethink what it means to learn and to be human.
