Anti-racist and Decolonial Approaches to Early Years Education - Perspectives from the Nordics

This edited volume locates and interrupts absences concerning the workings of race, whiteness and coloniality in relation to early years education in the Nordics. The contributors provide novel empirical knowledge and contextualized understandings of concepts such as coloniality, race, racism, whiteness, and intersectionality in relation to early years education, in and across the Nordics, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Kalaallit Nunaat/Greenland and Sápmi. The edited volume offers developments in pedagogical theory and practice that can offer alternatives, interruptions, and counterstrategies to the reproduction of racism, coloniality and injustice in and through education.

The book sheds light on the particularities of the Nordics, presenting contextually relevant examples that provide insights of relevance to the broader international context of anti-racist and decolonial education.
