Chief Magistrate Ivan Walters will, this weekend, be launching a book he authored in St John’s. The book is called Education and Cultural Politics: Interrogating Idiotic Education.

The launch will take place on Saturday at 7pm in the upstairs gallery of the Museum on Long Street.

The book, according to a brief review, analyses the cultural politics of education using the theoretical models of discrimination and oppression.

But the two models are set against the backdrop of social evil in relation to Black people in the African Diaspora.

“The book illustrates how the lives of Black people are constructed by slavery and colonialism which have etched their mores into the black psyche,” the review said.

“The black psyche can be deconstructed through conscientization and reconstructed through a non-idiotic, liberatory education using the philosophy of critical redemptive pedagogy,” it added.
