| Sumario: | Red Pedagogy: Native American Social and Political Thought is a groundbreaking text that explores the intersection between dominant modes of critical educational theory and the sociopolitical landscape of American Indian education. Sandy Grande asserts that, with few exceptions, the matters of Indigenous people and Indian education have been either largely ignored or indiscriminately absorbed within critical theories of education. Furthermore, American Indian scholars and educators have largely resisted engagement with critical educational theory, tending to concentrate instead on the production of historical monographs, ethnographic studies, tribally centered curricula, and site-based research. Such a focus stems from the fact that most American Indian scholars feel compelled to address the socioeconomic urgencies of their own communitiies, against which engagement in abstract theory appears to be a luxery of the academic elite. While Grande acknowledges the dire need for practical community-based research, she maintains that the global encroachment on Indigenous lands, resources, cultures, and communities points to the equally urgent need to develop transcendent theories of decolonization and to build broad-based coalitions. -- from back cover. |
