James Bay Cree Students and Higher Education
Issues of Identity and Culture Shock
Series: - Bold Visions in Educational Research, Volume: 13
Author:
This book examines the continuing challenges of lingering colonial cultural imperialism on the James Bay Cree, through an examination of the relationship between Cree students and the current âmainstream higher educationâ system. Culture shock and identity formation are central themes as the book investigates the uneven relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous authority in North America, dispelling notions of living in a âpost-colonialâ context. Well suited to a number of interests, such as Multiculturalism, Native/Indigenous studies, Sociology, Curriculum Studies, Cultural Comparative Education, Qualitative Research and more, readers will gain an understanding or simply benefit from a confirmation and validation of the complexities regarding âNative educationâ.
âA wise and courageous book on native students and higher education, written by a Bishopâs University professor......I have seldom read a better account of why native students don't do well in non-native education. The alienation imposed on them by our institutions, just by their very existence, has seldom been better explained.â âBoyce Richardson, Author (Strangers Devour The Land), Filmmaker (CreeHunters of Mistissini) & Member of the Order of Canada.
