Plantation Pedagogy
The Violence of Schooling across Black and Indigenous Space
Inhalt
"Plantation Pedagogy is as much a study in method as it is a landmark contribution to the fields of Black and Indigenous studies. Through her careful interrogation of key archival and scholarly texts, Bayley Marquez takes us on a journey through myriad and global geographies of slavery and settlement, offering an unflinching and fluid analysis of the intimacies of colonialist violence enacted upon Black and Indigenous peoples, lands, and waters. She brilliantly traces the pedagogical entanglements of colonialism and empire as manifested through boarding and technical schools, evidencing how they served as the proving grounds for the logics of US settler colonial and imperial projects across the Pacific and the Atlantic. At stake for Marquez is not a return or resuscitation of progressive or even critical pedagogies but rather a (re)assertion of Indigenous refusal, a decolonial and abolitionist politics that unmakes schooling as such, with the hopes of unearthing new stories of relationality, being, and liberation."—Sandy Grande, author of Red Pedagogy: Native American Social and Political Thought
"Marquez's book is likely to become a definitive work on racialized education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Plantation Pedagogy is a major resource on how racial ideas about Blackness evolved and became transposed onto other racialized populations after slave emancipation. This is an important contribution."—Justin Leroy, Assistant Professor of History, Duke University
"I found my critical and historiographic assumptions consistently challenged. Plantation Pedagogy promises to make significant contributions to many fields."—Mark Rifkin, author of Speaking for the People: Native Writing and the Question of Political Form
