Description: This book presents the Transformational Indigenous Praxis Model (TIPM), an innovative framework for promoting critical consciousness toward decolonization efforts among educators. The TIPM challenges readers to examine how even the most well-intentioned educators are complicit in reproducing ethnic stereotypes, racist actions, deficit-based ideology, and recolonization. Drawing from decades of collaboration with teachers and school […]

Abstract: There is a general consensus now in Australia that we are in the grip of a severe housing crisis.

He grows increasingly greedy, buying ever more of it, and ultimately perishes during his most spectacular transaction in the faraway imperial periphery of Bashkiria, famed for fire-sale prices.

Excerpt: Why were liberals incensed by Rachel Dolezal masquerading as Black but relatively untroubled by Elizabeth Warren’s claim to Cherokee ancestry? How does the anti-racist Left’s ritual rendition and interpretation of Bacon’s Rebellion and Radical Reconstruction constrain an adequate understanding of white supremacy in the US?
