International Perspectives and Research on Social Justice in Mathematics Education is the highly acclaimed
inaugural monograph of The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast now available through IAP. The book covers
prescient social, political and ethical issues for the domain of education in general and mathematics education
in particular from the perspectives of critical theory, feminist theory and social justice research. The major
themes in the book are (1) relevant mathematics, teaching and learning practices for minority and
marginalized students in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Israel, Palestine, and the United States., (2) closing
the achievement gap in the U.K, U.S and Iceland across classes, ethnicities and gender, and (3) the political
dimensions of mathematics. The fourteen chapters are written by leading researchers in the international
community interested and active in research issues of equity and social justice.
