Description
No Study Without Struggle: Confronting Settler Colonialism in Higher Education by Leigh Patel
This book examines how student protest against structural inequalities on campus pushes academic institutions to reckon with their legacy built on slavery and stolen Indigenous lands. Through original research and interviews with activists, Patel shows how the struggles in higher education often directly challenged the tension between narratives of education as a pathway to improvement and the structural reality of settler colonialism.
Patel argues that acknowledging and challenging settler colonialism is vital for understanding the relationship between struggle and study, and how this understanding can lead to societal improvement. By exploring campus social justice movements, Patel reveals the importance of confronting settler strategies in higher education.
