'The enclosure of the cultural and environmental commons has been going on for hundreds of years, privatizing what was previously available to all members of the community. Recently, however, the process of enclosure has been accelerated by the spread of economic globalization. This book opens up a discussion on the cultural and environmental commons as sites of resistance to this current trend and explains the nature of educational reforms that promote ecological sustainability, conservation of cultural and linguistic diversity, local democracy, and greater community self-sufficiency.' - excerpted from back cover.
