This book Alterity, Values and Socialization: Human Development within Educational Contexts written by Angela Uchoa Branco and Maria Claudia Lopes-de-Oliveira witnesses the author’s commitment to unfold the complex topic of values in human development and educational practices. The volume covers a wide range of issues (from inclusion, to creativity, to migration, etc.) related to the management of education with respect to values and alterity in a multicultural society. It critically combines the dialogical approach in educational contexts with the sociogenesis of the human values in a cultural psychological perspective. Branco and Oliveira, in fact, propose an innovative look at the value-developmental processes that accounts for the complexity of ontogenesis in highly culturally structured social setting as the school systems.
