Building bridges of peace in a Jewish-Palestinian Village in Israel: A role model for social justice and citizenship education
No full textNeve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam (the Hebrew and Arabic words for “Oasis of Peace”) is a village that began as an intercultural experiment. There, Jews and Palestinians founded a community aimed at demonstrating the possibilities for living in peace – while maintaining their respective cultural heritages and languages. This paper explores the psychological, social and personal dimensions of this unique educational endeavour and draws the reader into the complex journey of Jews and Palestinians who are trying to break down barriers of fear and mistrust that have saturated their daily existence. Feuerverger explore the deep woundings and sense of victimhood that both peoples – Jews and Palestinians – feel in very different ways. This ethnography was written from the heart and it certainly offers some hope in a time of darkness. It invites us all to become fellow dreamers of peace.Neve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam (“Oasis de Paz”) en hebreo y en árabe, es un pueblo que comenzó como un experimento intercultural. Allí, judíos y palestinos fundaron una comunidad para demostrar que es posible vivir en paz, y al mismo tiempo mantener el patrimonio cultural y las tradiciones de cada pueblo. En el libro ‘Oasis de Sueños’, resultado de nueve años de investigación en las escuelas de la comunidad, la autora explora las dimensiones psicológicas, sociales y personales de esta original iniciativa educativa. Este artículo, que emerge de ‘Oasis de Sueños’, invita a los lectores a introducirse en el complejo mundo de palestinos y judíos que intentan derrumbar las barreras de miedo y desconfianza que han impregnado su existencia cotidiana. Feuerverger explora las profundas heridas y el sentimiento de victimización que los dos pueblos cargan, aunque de maneras bien diferentes. Este estudio etnográfico fue escrito desde el corazón, ofrece un rayo de esperanza en tiempos de oscuridad, y nos invita a todos a transformarnos en soñadores de paz.Neve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam (les mots hebreux et arabes pour “Oasis de rêves”) est un village qui a débuté comme expérience interculturelle.

What Kind of Poland? Exploring the Role of the National Education Reforms (1999-2015) in the Neo-colonialist Expunging of Polishness and the Production of a New European-Unionized Subject.
No full textThis thesis examines the role of Poland’s post-communist national education reforms (1999-2015) in the reproduction of (neo)colonial relations within Polish society. By focusing on Polish literature education in public high schools in Poland, this study investigates how literary curriculum reform contributes to Poland’s neo-colonial subjugation through Western, European-Union-centered postmodern hegemonic constructions of nationality/citizenship, fracturing Polish society into an Enlightened colonial elite, and Poland’s backward internal Orient, demystifying the post-communist transformation as neo-colonial oppression versus independence, and the current III Republic as a neo-communist construct, rupturing continuity with the self-governing I and II Republics. In proposing a colonial view of Polish education and society, past and present, from the 19th century partitions, 20th century Nazism and communism, to present-day EU liberalism, this study inducts Poland/Central Eastern Europe into colonial discourse. In its call for decolonization, both educational and social, it propounds modernization based on indigenous Polish traditions versus imported Western models.M.A
