Book
Lessons in legitimacy : colonialism, capitalism, and the rise of state schooling in British Columbia / Sean Carleton.
Summary:
"Between 1849 and 1930, schooling in what is now British Columbia supported the development of a capitalist settler society. Lessons in Legitimacy examines government-assisted schooling for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples - public schools, Indian Day Schools, and Indian Residential Schools - in one analytical frame. Sean Carleton demonstrates how church and state officials administered different school systems that trained Indigenous and settler children and youth to take up and accept unequal roles in the emerging social order. This important study reveals how an understanding of the historical uses of schooling can inform contemporary discussions about the role of education in reconciliation and improving Indigenous-settler relations."-- Provided by publisher.
