"Critical Mathematics Education" by Ole Skovsmose is a comprehensive philosophy of critical mathematics education. The book is organized into four sections, covering topics such as social justice, racism, democracy, sustainability, and learning. Skovsmose explores the social and ethical dimensions of mathematics and discusses its role in addressing crises and promoting social justice. The book also includes examples of critical mathematics education in different contexts, including classrooms and undergraduate courses. While the book primarily focuses on the Nordic and Freirean traditions of critical mathematics education, it does not extensively cover the post-structuralist tradition. Overall, "Critical Mathematics Education" offers valuable insights and ideas for educators and researchers interested in critical approaches to mathematics education. [Extracted from the article]
