Parution – Stephen Jackson, “Religious Education and the Anglo-World: The Impact of Empire, Britishness, and Decolonization in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand”, Brill, 2020

https://brill.com/view/title/57607

Focusing on Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, Religious Education and the Anglo-World historiographically examines the relationship between empire and religious education. The analysis centres on three formative eras in the development of religious education in each case: firstly, the foundational moments of publicly funded education in the mid- to late nineteenth centuries when policy makers created largely Protestant systems of religious education, and frequently denied Roman Catholics funding for private education. Secondly, the period from 1880-1960 during which campaigns to strengthen religious education emerged in each context. Finally, the era of decolonisation from the 1960s through the 1980s when publicly funded religious education was challenged by the loss of Britishness as a central ideal, and Roman Catholics found unprecedented success in achieving state aid in many cases. By bringing these disparate national literatures into conversation with one another, Stephen Jackson calls for a greater transnational approach to the study of religious education in the Anglo-World.

Parution – Helen May et Kerry Bethell, “Growing a kindergarten movement in Aotearoa New Zealand: Its people, purposes and politics”, NZCER Press, 2017

Generations of New Zealanders have memories of themselves or their children at kindergarten, and new memories are being made every day. 

The first kindergartens appeared here in colonial times—a revolutionary idea imported from Germany that suggested children would unfold through play. This book tells the story of how those ideas were adopted, adapted, and thrived in New Zealand. 

With the New Zealand Free Kindergarten Union (now NZ Kindergartens) about to enter its centennial decade, it is time to remember the people who have been central to the movement and how they have nurtured it for future generations. The story is peopled with powerful personalities who were (and are) committed to the ideals of kindergarten. Over the decades, this commitment led to a string of campaigns to promote opportunities for children and training for teachers. Sometimes the story is one of adversity and survival. Kindergarten has reinvented itself for different times and for different populations and places. It has formed alliances across government agencies, education organisations, and political party lines.

Throughout, children are at the heart of the movement—which is why kindergartens and their associations hold a special place in the hearts of families and whānau they serve.

Authors Helen May and Kerry Bethell have both taught early years education and are widely published. They weave their scholarly research through the story of the people, places, and values of the kindergarten movement. The book is illustrated with photographs and cartoons from every decade.
