Native Presence and Sovereignty in College: Sustaining Indigenous Weapons to Defeat Systemic Monsters (Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Amanda R. Tachine (postsecondary education, Arizona State University) follows 10 Navajo young people from their senior year of high school through the first year of college. She identifies obstacles students face as they try to create connections to the campus community, from financial hardship to microaggressions, low expectations, and invisibility. Tachine calls these obstacles “systemic monsters,” which diminish the value of Native worldviews through white supremacy, racism, heteropatriarchy, and Indigenous erasure. She shows how Native students can conquer these monsters using Navajo ways of knowing and traditional values of kinship and relationality. The book includes profiles and descriptive narratives about the students at different points in their journeys. It will be of interest to faculty, administrators, and policy makers in higher education, and others who work with Native youth. Annotation ©2022 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
