Coloring in the White Spaces: Reclaiming Cultural Identity in Whitestream Schools - Paperback

by Shirley R. Steinberg (Other), Ann Milne (Author)

This book examines the struggle against racial and cultural inequity in educational systems. It offers the example of a New Zealand community and its efforts to step outside education's White spaces to create a new space for learning and to reclaim educational sovereignty - where individuals have the absolute right to be Māori, in school.
