Book excerpt: Disrupting assumptions and commonsensical ideologies of "service," Service Learning as a Political Act in Education presents a clear and systematic analysis that unveils the rampant contradictions within the service learning field.

Through a decolonizing lens, this book offers a radical political confrontation of service learning ideologies and practices.
