Sandy Grande's book is an important contribution to the scholarship on Native American education and it contains a critical analysis and guide to current thinking. It also offers a powerful agenda for charting the future course of Native American education. -- Joel Spring, Queens College, CUNY Sandy Grande ably succeeds in defining the common ground between American Indian intellectuals and critical scholars engaged in anti-imperialist and anticapitalist struggles for decolonization, an unintended but plausible and relatively absent anticolonial indigenous contribution to critical adult education. Adult Education Quarterly Although critical of dominant modes, Grande nevertheless maintains that scholars should not reject all of them, but instead maintain a critical stance, a key component of Red Pedagoogy. This book is necessary reading for anyone seeking 'emancipatory pedagogies' for indigenous people. -- Steven Crum, University of California, Davis Red Pedagogy is sure to become a classic text in the field of critical education.
