Policing Indigenous Students: The School/Prison Nexus on the Canadian Prairies
New!
From: White Benevolence
$1.40
In chapter 7, Amanda Gebhard sheds light on the subtle — and not-so-subtle — operations of racism, colonialism and whiteness in schools, and the real and material consequences these have on students’ educational trajectories. The chapter draws on multiple forms of anecdotal and empirical evidence indicating white teachers harbour oppressive beliefs about Indigenous students that give rise to exclusionary and criminalizing practices and are part of the school/prison nexus — “the tentacles in policies, practices, and informal knowledges that support, naturalize and extend relationships between incarceration and schools”— for Indigenous students in the Prairie provinces.
