> Colleagues, Chet Bowers' new book, RE-THINKING FREIRE: GLOBALIZATION
> AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS [ Pub: Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc, ] has
> recently been published. It contains essays by Third World activists
> who, Chet notes, tried Freire's pedagogy in situations where they
> spoke the local language and found that it was "based on western
> assumptions and thus was a colonizing pedagogy".
>
> There is also a new on-line journal THE ECOJUSTICE REVIEW: EDUCATING
> FOR THE COMMONS, that focus on educational reforms that address the
> overshooting of the sustaining ability of natural systems. It can be
> found at < www.ecojusticeeducation.org >. This is a peer reviewed
> journal and the website also has an ecojustice dictionary as well as
> links to other groups that are addressing similar issues.
