Title: Perspectives on British expatriate science teachers in a Caribbean context Authors: Burke, Lydia E. Carol-Ann Abstract: In this article, I report on the findings of a qualitative critical analysis of student, teacher and administrator accounts of the employment of British expatriate science teachers in a given Caribbean context. I utilise the complicity/resistance construct of postcolonial theory as the analytic framework for this inquiry, foregrounding the meanings that research participants attached to the geographic origins of science teachers. These meanings place the expatriate teachers in complicated positions of privilege that elicit certain responses from students, colleagues and the expatriate teachers themselves. I discuss the implications of participant insights that reinforce a call for further postcolonial critique of the employment of Western expatriate teachers in once-colonised settings.

Title: [Book review] Darder, A. Freire and education Authors: Mayo, Peter Abstract: Peter Mayo reviews 'Freire and education' by Antonia Darder. The writing consists of Freire’s participation in a dialogue involving Antonia Darder, Peter Park and Paulo Freire himself. This moving dialogue took place in 1992; just a couple of years after Freire had retired from serving as Education Secretary in São Paulo. Twenty-five years later, Freire’s ideas obviously continue to inspire people, constituting an important lens through which one can analyze a variety of socio-political situations and forms of cultural production.
