The Public Pedagogy of the Master Narrative - The Stories We Tell Ourselves about Race and Language Around the World

Through a wide range of interviews with experts in areas ranging from US states generally perceived as being progressive to countries including Finland, Algeria and Japan, the author explores how a centuries-long battle for control of the narrative around race and language continues to be fought around the world.
