The book "Curriculum for justice and harmony: deliberation, knowledge, and action in social and civic education" by Keith C. Barton and Lo-Ching Ho offers guidelines for curriculum design in social studies and civics education. The authors emphasize extending benevolence, listening to distant voices, and taking wise action as key principles. The book explores these principles in the context of different cultural backgrounds, including non-Western perspectives. It challenges dominant educational discourses in Asia and invites social studies and civics educators to engage in sustained deliberation and critical reconstruction of guidelines and implementations in their respective contexts.
