"Only now has a thorough history confronted the coloniality of western scientific education from the ground up. Rasoul Nejadmehr argues powerfully that Kants philosophy is not the main problem, but rather a normalized Kantianism that forms the basis of modern education. It is a silent point of reference that frames how educators conduct contemporary schooling, often without overt knowledge of its guiding principles. Nejadmehrs genealogy presents in no uncertain terms Kantianisms racialized and colonial legacy on the practice of education. Once you engage this book, a return to innocence will be impossible. Kantian Genesis of the Problem of Scientific Education will become a classic in the study of race, colonialism, and philosophy of education."
