Indigenous education in Australia and Canada has been a site of
struggle since colonisation. At the beginning of the 21st century
the struggle for equitable outcomes continues. Since the 1970's in
Canada and the 1980's in Australia, Indigenous teachers have been
graduating from rural and urban-based programs. The two programs
for the education of Indigenous teachers which are at the heart of
this book - the Aboriginal Rural Education Program (AREP) in
Sydney, NSW and the Northern Teacher Education Program (NORTEP) at
La Ronge, Saskatchewan - reflect the shifting struggles in the
racialised field of Indigenous education. Drawing on a comparative
socio-historical overview of racialisation in the Australian and
Canadian contexts and interviews with staff, students and
administrators in the AREP and NORTEP, Carol Reid reveals how the
tensions and contradictions of Indigenous teacher education can be
productive. The book identifies critical issues of education in
Diasporic communities; highlights the politics of colour in higher
education; signals how privilege is reproduced through education;
shows how culture emerges as pathology and demonstrates the
importance of creating a third space for the constant negotiation
of the meaning of cultural difference in education.
