65. Radstats: Review Of Ethnomathematics - Challenging Eurocentrism In Mathematics E
    REVIEWS. ethnomathematics challenging eurocentrism in mathematics education. Arthur B. Powell and Marilyn Frankenstein (Eds.). ethnomathematics.  
    http://www.radstats.org.uk/no076/shapiro.htm
    
    Extractions: Albany: State University of New York Press Review by Janet Shapiro Introduction I taught mathematics in school for several years, and found myself combating the rather discouraging approach used in mathematics education. I wanted people to acknowledge the mathematical skills applied by necessity in many practical situations. So, I welcome this publication which confirms my own convictions, and I am very glad to have the opportunity to review it. After all, UNESCO designated the year 2000 as the International Year of Mathematics, and Maths Year 2000 is a DfEE (Department of Education and Employment) funded initiative. While academic in style, the book includes practical experience. Many of the chapters describe teachers learning from their pupils' responses, gaining insight into how cultural background and priorities of purpose can influence general problem solving strategies. Frequently the message is that the teacher must have awareness and sensitivity to appreciate the train of thought used by a pupil. There are frequent reports of otherwise illiterate people demonstrating innate mathematical ability. Structure However, the book suffers from being a collection of academic papers, each having a long list of citations, which inevitably carries a great deal of repetition. Many pages are devoted to polemical battles, in which the authors refute previous work with a Eurocentrist or elitist bias. The chapters are arranged in six sections, but section headings are not emphasised throughout the text. After reading through the chapters a second time I found that these thematic headings helped me to understand the thesis better. In my own words these themes were:

    Extractions: Reviewed by Anthony J. Tromba Several years ago a complaint was lodged with the office of the Dean of Natural Sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz concerning my "racist" conduct as an instructor in a course on vector calculus. In part, the complaint alleged that my course was biased, since in the discussions of its historical roots I mentioned only the white male mathematicians Isaac Newton, Leonhard Euler, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, thus omitting minority or black scientists who may have contributed to the foundation of the subject. The charge caught me quite by surprise, since the issue of the skin color of these great scientists never arose. The complainer, a young black woman, further added that if, in fact, there had been no black founders, I was obligated to state this explicitly and to devote lecture time explaining their absence as a consequence of the ravaging effects of European colonialism of the African continent and the subsequent suppression of African scientific and cultural development.

    http://www.ai.mit.edu/~hammond/ethnoabstract.html
    
    Extractions: Although the term ethnomathematics has been in use in the anthropological literature for quite sometime now, a standard definition of the construct has yet to emerge. More than one definition exists, causing confusion and inhibiting systematic research on the subject. Most definitions loosely refer to it as the study of mathematical ideas of non-literate peoples (e.g., Ascher and Ascher, 1997), thereby ignoring or underplaying its profound relationship to culture. More importantly, current definitions are restrictive and too narrow to adequately explain phenomena that rightfully fall within its realm. Providing a conceptually grounded definition is a necessary first step to galvanize the thinking and investigative activity on the subject. My aim in this thesis is to offer such a definition and to descriptively examine its relevance for theory building and research on ethnomathematics. I start with a brief review of the current definitions of ethnomathematics, highlighting their parochial nature. I then propose an over-arching definition that derives its grounding from interaction and reciprocity-based models. My definition suggests ethnomathematics as the study of the evolution of mathematics that has shaped, and in turn shaped by, the values of groups of people. I then use this definition to historically examine how mathematics, despite its universality and constancy themes, suffers from culture-based disparities and has been influenced in its development by various social groups over time. Specifically, I examine the role of culture in the learning and use of math, gender capabilities in math, and how even racism has played a significant part in the evolution of math.

    ethnomathematics. Mathematics cultures. For others, however, ethnomathematics is an effort to supplant the tyranny of Western mathematical standards.  
    http://braden.weblogs.com/mathGems/ethnomathematics
    
    Extractions: Curiosities of Math, History, Parachuting, etc.... Mathematics is one academic subject that would seem to reside in a world of universality, protected from competing opinions by the objectivity of its laws. But the real universal law is that everything is relative, even in math. For some, [ethnomathematics] just means studying the anthropology of various measurement methods; they merely want to supplement the accepted canon from Pythagoras to Euclid to Newton with mind-expanding explorations of mathematical ideas from other cultures. For others, however, ethnomathematics is an effort to supplant the tyranny of Western mathematical standards. "The practical effect," [Cal State Northridge mathematics professor David] Klein says, "has been watered-down math books that overemphasize inductive reasoning (like continuing visual patterns), because this is supposed to be good for women and minorities, and de-emphasizing deductive reasoning and mathematical proofs, which is the heart of mathematics, because that supposedly favors white males....Ancient techniques and early discoveries in math will not take students very far who want to do something in the modern world with mathematics," he says.
