Review of "Taking Control: Power and Contradiction in First Nations Adult Education," by Celia Haig-Brown.
Overview & Synopsis
Reviews an ethnography of the Native Education Centre (NEC) in Vancouver (British Columbia) that focuses on the degree to which NEC's programs demonstrate "Indian control of Indian education." Discusses the book's central questions and contradictions concerning who is native, use of nonnative teachers, and the role of native education--cultural maintenance versus preparation for mainstream employment.
