Decolonization is not a metaphor

This article is a MUST READ

Decolonization is not a metaphor
By Eve Tuck & K. Wayne Yang

“Our goal in this article is to remind readers what is unsettling about decolonization. Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools.”

Thanks!
