About this book
Reviews
“A well-researched treatise on the three revolutionaries, Makiguchi, Ikeda, and Gandhi, this study offers refreshing insights into their contemporary relevance and the subsequent efforts underway in different parts of the world to contextualize their visions for the practice of global citizenship education, human rights and a sustainable future. The author reveals admirable analytical skills in revisiting their strivings for a new humanistic world vision through restructuring of education as a potential instrument of value creation.” (N. Radhakrishnan, Professor, Senior Gandhian scholar and activist, Chairman of Indian Council of Gandhian Studies, New Delhi, and Dean of the Faculty of Languages in Gandhigram University, India)
“Globalcitizenship is enjoying a rediscovery lately in the scholarly literature—and for good reason given increasing turns toward nationalism worldwide. In this book, Namrata Sharma offers an important, timely and necessary examination of non-Western perspectives and praxis of education for global citizenship rooted in the internationally growing area of value-creation advanced by Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Daisaku Ikeda, and in the philosophy and practice of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.” (Jason Goulah, Associate Professor of Bilingual-Bicultural Education and Director of the Institute for Daisaku Ikeda Studies in Education, DePaul University, Chicago, USA)
