Culture warriors have been re-enforcing rather than challenging divisive and discriminatory attitudes and behaviours, denying the significance of slavery and colonialism along with its implications for social justice agendas in the contemporary context.

These contested histories need to be faced through confronting the past in order to develop more effective strategies for change – challenging racism, discrimination and xenophobia and promoting equalities, diversity and social solidarity for the future. These ideological battles have important implications for community education and development, both in theory and in practice.

This chapter introduces the three themes that are to be explored throughout the chapters that follow: culture wars, decolonisation and the contested histories of community education and development.
