In these chapters very well-known internationalauthors from different continents and countries analyze school and educational situationsthrough new lens: by considering the teaching and learning processes as multi-voiced and socially complex and considering identitydevelopment as a true leverage for development.The focus on the dialogical nature of both learning and identities makes this book interesting not only for educators and educationalresearchers but also for anyone interested in human sciences policy makers students and their families.
