Adriana's books are full of humour, warmth and passion' SANTA MONTEFIORE The brand new novel from the bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife, a Richard and Judy Book Club pick When Chi Chi Donatelli and Saverio Armandonada meet by chance on the Jersey shore, the two form a duo that takes the music industry by storm.

Although Germany was one of the principal colonising nations in Africa and today is the world’s second largest aid donor , there is no literature on the postcolonial condition of contemporary German development policy. This book explores German development endeavours by state institutions as well as NGOs, and provides evidence of development policy’s unacknowledged entanglement in colonial modes of thought and practice. It zooms in on concrete policies and practices in selected fields of intervention: development education and billboard advertising in Germany, and – taking Tanzania as a case in point – obstetric care and population control in the Global South. The analysis finds that disregarding colonial continuities means to perpetuate the inequalities and injustices that development policy claims to fight. This book argues that colonial power in global development needs to be understood as functioning through the transnational character of development policy at home and abroad.

Bildung ist ein Menschenrecht; es garantiert die "volle Entfaltung der Persönlichkeit" und eine Erziehung zu Mündigkeit und Verantwortung im Sinne der Menschenrechte. Entsprechend ist Bildungsgerechtigkeit die Selbstverpflichtung einer Gesellschaft, dieses Menschenrecht einzulösen. Das erfordert zunächst, allen Heranwachsenden freien Zugang zu Bildungseinrichtungen zu ermöglichen. Eine solche systemische Verteilungsgerechtigkeit vermag jedoch nicht die herkunftsbedingten Unterschiede und die daraus resultierende Bildungsungerechtigkeit zu kompensieren. Daher richtet sich der aktuelle Diskurs über Bildungsgerechtigkeit auch und vor allem auf die Schwerpunkte Teilhabe und Anerkennung. Die Heftbeiträge zeigen, was Schulen tun können, um in diesem Sinne allen Schülerinnen und Schülern gerecht zu werden. An konkreten Unterrichtsbeispielen und Bildungsbiografien wird gezeigt, wie das Konzept einer Schule auf gemeinsames Lernen, auf Teilhabe und Anerkennung angelegt werden und wie Unterrichts- und Schulentwicklung dabei zusammenwirken können.
