Vygotsky in Twenty-first Century Society is an ensemble of novel perspectives about the legacy of Lev Vygotsky and Alexander Luria. The book illustrates how well the legacy of their work is being applied and continued in contemporary research, and how cultural historical theory has been constructed and re-constructed. Together, these collected essays inform a broader discussion of how a developmentally-oriented cultural paradigm can guide learning and teaching in social and educational policy and in group or individual counseling. Readers will find discussions of issues in human development that have previously been overlooked. This book is important and timely in addressing these issues and fault-lines, particularly for advancing both equity and scientific understandings.
«The exceptional range of scholarship in this collection of essays should provide an invaluable tool in orienting young scholars to significant developments in the legacy of Vygotsky and his followers.» (Mike Cole, University Professor, Departments of Communication, Psychology, and the Human Development Program, University of California, San Diego; Director, Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition, University of California, San Diego)
