[227] p. 228 p. 229 p. 230 BackMatter-2012 Contents [unnumbered] [unnumbered] Edward Said has been acknowledged as one of the greatest critics and cultural theorists of our time. His groundbreaking work "Orientalism" initiated the development of postcolonial theory, causing a paradigm shift by re-conceptualizing, deconstructing, and re-presenting the "Orient" as the ultimate "Other" of the "Occident." Despite its influence on other disciplines, the impact of Said's work in the field of education has not yet been fully explored. This book translates Said's complex theory into praxis for readers and educators by gleaning key concepts and methodologies, critical and conceptual frameworks, and uses and ramifications for academic critique. "Pedagogy of the Other" (appropriately named after Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed) suggests ways and means to create an innovative postcolonial teaching practice that does not marginalize, oppress, or negate the Other, but rather, creates a counter-discourse of representation and empowerment Orientalism: the making of the other -- Edward Said and postcolonial theory: disjunctured identities and the subaltern voice -- "Re-doing the narratives of empire": representation and re-presentation -- Resistance and counter discourse: writing back to the empire -- The world, the text and the teacher: contrapuntal analysis and secular criticism -- Erasing Eurocentrism: "using the other" as the supplement of knowledge -- Conceptual frameworks in postcolonial theory: applications for educational critique -- Toward a pedagogy of the other: interculturalism, inclusiveness, Interdisciplinarity -- Afterword: the "Arab Spring": East meets West
