{"product_id":"decolonizing-education-marie-battiste-9781895830774","title":"Decolonizing Education: Nourishing the Learning Spirit","description":"Drawing on treaties, international law, the work of other Indigenous scholars, and especially personal experiences, Marie Battiste documents the nature of Eurocentric models of education, and their devastating impacts on Indigenous knowledge. Chronicling the negative consequences of forced assimilation, racism inherent to colonial systems of education, and the failure of current educational policies for Aboriginal populations, Battiste proposes a new model of education, arguing the preservation of Aboriginal knowledge is an Aboriginal right. Central to this process is the repositioning of Indigenous humanities, sciences, and languages as vital fields of knowledge, revitalizing a knowledge system which incorporates both Indigenous and Eurocentric thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Battiste\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 189583077X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781895830774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Marie Battiste","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939095871743,"sku":"9781895830774","price":38.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_eadf4570-1c7c-428e-a294-e5e5f4de9b43.jpg?v=1681439471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonizing-education-marie-battiste-9781895830774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
