      Wild Children - Domesticated Dreams: An Interview with Layla
      AbdelRahim

“*Schools teach children the principles of death and of suffering. They 
do not teach them the principles of life, which is diversity, which is 
being out there in the world. They teach them within closed systems, 
within closed buildings and walls, separated from the rest of the world. 
They teach them that violence is legitimate when it is applied from the 
top to the bottom and that it is illegitimate when it is practised in 
resistance or defence of diversity and life. They teach children that 
humanity is alien to this world, that success means pleasing those in 
authority who will own the products of our flesh, of our effort, of our 
work, of our love.” - Layla AbdelRahim *

Here's my interview with anthropologist, author, and researcher Layla 
AbdelRahim.



In the interview, Layla discusses some of the main ideas in her 
wonderful book /Wild Children- Domesticated Dreams: Civilization and the 
Birth of Education /(Fernwood Publishing, 2013).
