This book addresses issues related to school inclusion from the perspective of systemic inclusion. It focuses on the need to face the challenges of inclusion in education from a broad perspective, including the classroom, the school as an institution, families, and the community. It also pays attention to the full interactions between them. The book demonstrates how inclusion can be carried out in very real, concrete and everyday ways. It also shows how researchers can work hand in hand with the professionals and other stakeholders who are developing their practices day by day. The book draws on a range of research projects of the Spanish and international research groups to provide both rich theoretical frameworks and rigorous research outcomes related to the four dimensions of the systemic inclusion perspective and its necessary networking: classroom, school, families and the community. Most of the chapters take Spain as the case study but, far from being a local book, it uses Spanish analysis to dialogue universally with current main debates and challenges in inclusion, almost 30 years after the Salamanca Statement.

The book gives the reader some thematic variety and conceptual diversity that are difficult to find in any other current selection, allowing the reader to have direct access (with no other restrictions than that of the quantity of articles s/he is faced with), to what is the essence of the socio-cultural paradigm in today’s world: very diverse answers to very different cultural situations in different parts of the world, provided by groups of researchers and practitioners in education, who come from theoretical traditions that are sometimes divergent and even opposing, and who concur in the search for the roots of development and learning in the cultural and educational contexts. Idiomas: Inglés, con resumen extenso en español, Español con resumen extenso en inglés Este volumen reúne diversas aportaciones sobre la cultura y la educación realizadas desde la perspectiva sociocultural. El libro le ofrece al lector una variedad temática y una diversidad conceptual difícilmente accesibles en cualquier otro tipo de selección al uso, permitiéndole acceder directamente, sin otros límites que los impuestos por la propia afluencia de trabajos, a lo que constituye la esencia del paradigma sociocultural en el mundo de hoy: respuestas muy diversas a situaciones culturales muy distintas en todo el mundo, realizadas por grupos de investigadores y trabajadores de la educación que, aún proviniendo de tradiciones teóricas a veces divergentes y hasta enfrentadas, coinciden en buscar en los entornos culturales y educativos las raíces del desarrollo y el aprendizaje.
