From: White Benevolence
$1.10
In chapter 14, Jas M. Morgan explores the impacts of visual and narrative representations of race and Indigeneity shown in schools to Indigenous youth trying to navigate their own identities and places in the world, critiquing Saskatchewan’s education system. This chapter argues that it is important to understand the social and political contexts behind media or art shown in class to fully grasp the effects they can have on the students, due to ideologies embedded within representations.
