Inclusione e tokenismo: appunti di Pedagogia critica

At a time when intercultural education and inclusion risk being emptied into reassuring slogans or a sterile rhetoric of “good intentions,” this volume advances a new and radical perspective. Education is never a neutral act; it is a theoretical and political battleground where hierarchies, worldviews, and concrete possibilities of coexistence are produced. From a critical pedagogical standpoint, the book urges readers to move beyond the temptation of purely symbolic inclusion—those forms of visibility that reassure institutions without truly unsettling the power that discriminates—and to reclaim educational action as an authentic practice of emancipation and social justice. Through a collective and rigorous voice, the text examines the material and symbolic conditions that make encounters with the Other possible, dismantling the Eurocentric paradigm that still inhabits our educational systems and exposing the asymmetries concealed behind a façade of humanitarian language. From the challenge of post-digital borders to the analysis of algorithmic biases within the onlife condition, these pages offer theoretical and practical tools for professionals and researchers committed to transforming the classroom into a space of formation and transformation.
