Educational Leadership and the Global Majority

This book introduces a term for our times, 'Global Majority,' as conceptualised within the context of school leadership. It examines the processes and impact over time of racially-minoritising up to eighty-five percent of the world's population. The chapters illustrate how a decolonised cognitive reset from a minority to majority orientation moves practice from a place of subordination to one of agency and efficacy. By reconnecting the people of the Global Majority with their narratives and the social and historical linkages that they have always had, the book potentially contributes to a different globality; where interdependence is not driven by the economic greed of the minority, but the social and very human needs of the majority.

Challenges the minority status attributed to Black and other marginalised groups Interrogates the concept of a "Global Majority," within the existing literature on race and leadership Analyzes the example of a leadership development programme in London schools
