It is a definitive contribution to a beginning dialogue on how performance, as a theoretical and pragmatic lens, can be used to view the processes, procedures, and politics of education. The conceptual framework of the volume is the editors'' argument that performance and performativity help to locate and describe repetitive actions plotted within grids of power relationships and social norms that comprise the context of education and schooling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book brings together performance studies and education researchers, teachers, and scholars to investigate such topics as: \u003cbr\u003e*the relationship between performance and performativity in pedagogical practice; *the nature and impact of performing identities in varying contexts; \u003cbr\u003e*cultural and community conf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...a welcome - and much-needed - contribution to the field of educational research, in particular, and of interdisciplinary studies in general. By offering scholars and practitioners an alternative lens through which to view their research initiatives, pedagogical practices, and personal performances, the book creates an opportunity for a radical shift in how we 'do' education.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEducation Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"A splendid book, one that will be respectively essential to performance and education scholars but, more importantly, to those working their borders and to those willing to explore them. Most distinctly, unlike other work exploring the sometimes merely metaphorical blur of teaching\/performing, this book pushes the policy and curricular reform implications of taking their conjunction seriously. Well-written, well-organized, and powerfully focused on truly high stakes education, this book will and should make a difference.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eDella Pollock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents: P.
