The theories and analyses of post-structural thinkers such as Michel Foucault can seem a long way from practice in early childhood services. In recent years, however, many early childhood researchers and practitioners have found this work important and this fascinating book brings together a range of research and case-studies showing how teachers and researchers have brought post-structuralism to the classroom. The book covers such issues as:

  • becoming post-structurally reflective about truth
  • mapping classroom meanings
  • tactics of rhizoanalysis
  • becoming again in critically-knowing communities.

Case-studies and examples taken from real situations are used and will be of interest to anyone studying or researching early childhood practice and policy.

Power? Truth? Think you know what these mean? Guess again.

It's not about energy or forcefulness; it's about your perception of your power over giving meaning to early childhood concepts instead of the industry or the "sanctioned" perception of the government or professional orgs like the NAEYC.

Australian early childhood professional Dr. Naughton takes us into the mind of one of the greatest philosophers of out time, the Frenchman Foucault, as she attempts to persuade early childhood professionals to concentrate on their "will to truth", utilizing "rhizoanalysis", and deliberately deconstructing concepts through "parrhesia" in order to deliberately liberate our minds from societal's control of the meanings it makes and the "violent" perception that our viewpoints on "play" are less impressive and immediate than the more accepted, PC terms.

It's a heavy text that will challenge the very cerebral of early childhood scholars. It's a book that needs a second reading like Jerome Bruner's THE CULTURE OF EDUCATION...but well, well worth it!
