We are living through a daunting yet fascinating period in which
the global economy increasingly challenges the accepted dichotomies
between home-life and work-life, between employment and
unemployment, paid work and unpaid work. This calls for serious
analysis of how knowledge is generated, both formally and
informally, in workplaces as diverse as the factory, the field, or
the street. It raises questions about what forms of learning and
training are involved; how they articulate with one another and
what practical and theoretical implications this has for our
societies. In this title, 34 leading scholars from 10 countries
challenge established understandings of lifelong learning and work,
with several arguing that 'work' and 'lifelong learning' need to be
'turned inside out' through a rigorous critique of underlying
social relations and practices so that we understand the power
relations that shape learning/work possibilities. In various ways,
all of the 25 chapters that make up this volume are infused with
imaginings of alternative futures which prioritise social justice
and sustainability for the majority in the world. Learning/Work
will appeal to scholars and practitioners who are grappling to
understand and implement learning/work critically within the
demanding conditions of our times.

The British Virgin Islander sold his Legacy for a bowl of porridge
- his hometown is bursting at the seams with the outsider to whom
he's given Carte Blanche - unaware that his wings have been clipped
he is now the endangered specie and must be watchful less he become
like the Dodo and Maori - flightless birds from New Zealand extinct
for over a century. Marx asserts that history repeats itself, the
first is tragedy and the next time farce. "In the Caribbean we
often appear to be sleep-walkers reliving history and repeating the
farce."

'Globalization' has become a key shorthand for the times we live
in. But, fashionable as the term is, it does sum up some of the
important changes which are affecting life in all parts of the
world today. And adult educators are having to come to terms with
the processes involved and the implications for their own work.
This book looks at the impact of globalization on adult education
and training generally, and on women more specifically. AET
strategies, including towards women, workplace training and the
recognition of experiential learning are explored, as are
participatory approaches in diverse contexts and countries. The
contributors also focus on the notion of life-long learning, its
meaning and how to go about giving effect to it.
