Résumé

In this paper, I draw inspiration from Antonia Darder’s chosen piece to indicate some of the challenges for a genuinely democratic education and critical pedagogy in these turbulent times. I give pride of place to the war in the Ukraine, targeting the themes of imperialisms in a multipolar world, militarisation, extreme nationalism and Fascism. I also tackle climate change and potential wars in the south resulting from depletion of resources and the related theme of mass migration from ‘South’ to ‘North’. I also tackle the tangible cultural products characterised by social relations marked by human suffering and slavery, these distressing histories carried forward as part of the ‘portability of cultures’ of descendants knocking at the gates of the West.
