<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">While the contrast between indigenous ways of learning and understanding and dominant/hegemonic modern Western forms of education is quite starkly drawn - as indeed is the contrast between indigenous
and modern Western capitalist ways of life more generally - this very starkness can be useful pedagogically in challenging university students to question some of their most deeply ingrained preconceptions and prejudices about education and schooling. </div>
<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">What I find especially moving and poignant about this film is its depiction of the impact of colonial Western education projects on indigenous families and communities, with community elders persuaded
of their own uselessness, disillusioned young people brainwashed into leaving their communities to pursue the Western capitalist dream finally confronted with the ultimate fraudulence and emptiness of that promise (reminiscent in some ways of Shevek's journey
to Urras in Le Guin's 1974 anarchist utopian novel <i>The Dispossessed</i>: '<span style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left; display: inline !important; color: rgb(24, 24, 24); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="ContentPasted1">Here
you see the jewels, there you see the eyes. And in the eyes you see the splendor, the splendor of the human spirit. Because our men and women are free�possessing nothing, they are free. And you the possessors are possessed. You are all in jail. Each alone,
solitary, with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes�the wall, the wall!'</span>), and people of all ages coming to see themselves as failures in a system explicitly designed/rigged to ensure that most
'fail' in order that others might prosper at their expense. </div>

<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For those considering using the film in their own classes, I recommend pairing it with the documentary 'Life and Debt (</span><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284262/" id="LPNoLPOWALinkPreview" style="font-size: 11pt;">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0284262/</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;">),
a 2001 film which examines the effects of globalisation on Jamaican industry and agriculture (this film was an eye-opener for many of the first-year students in my Introduction to Globalisation module). The painting 'American Progress' (1872), by John Gast,
is a useful visual aid. In terms of accompanying scholarly literature, I recommend Leanne

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(26, 26, 26);">The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools. Today, volunteers build schools in traditional societies
around the world, convinced that school is the only way to a 'better' life for indigenous children. But is this true? What really happens when we replace a traditional culture's way of learning and understanding the world with our own? SCHOOLING THE WORLD
takes a challenging, sometimes funny, ultimately deeply disturbing look at the effects of modern education on the world's last sustainable indigenous cultures.</span></p>
