Bicultural Education in the North
|
Kasten, Erich (ed.) |
This book is about the cultural diversity of the peoples of the North, and how this can be maintained and enhanced in the future. Anthropologists and ethnolinguists - as well as educators and those involved in politics from Native communities in the North inform the reader on the current state of the debate on this issue. This may give us clues and insights into both theory building and the implementation of relevant community-based educational practices. At the outset it is emphasized that indigenous needs and global responsibilities make the maintaining of cultural diversity a matter for all of us. Some authors call attention to the need to work for adequate social, political, and economic environments, so that cultural and linguistic diversities can continue to thrive in the future. But most importantly, our view is directed to the educational process itself. These themes are further elaborated in various case studies, which focus on Siberia and the North Pacific Rim but provide comparative views from other regions as well.
