Book Project: Settler Colonialism and Assimilation through Education: A Comparative Look at the United States and the Nordic Countries
The book focuses on Indigenous experiences with settler and green colonialism, causes and effects of assimilation and education of Indigenous peoples in the Nordic region and the United States. Today’s impacts on Indigenous peoples include but are not limited to historical trauma, land rights struggles, threats to Indigenous identity and knowledge, and the ongoing processes of settler and green colonialism. Some of the chapters in this book debate European educational philosophy, assimilation through child removal and foster programs, church and religion, the green transition and green colonialism, perpetrators of genocide and ethnocide, settler-colonialism and assimilation of Indigenous peoples across multiple settings. The United States and the Nordic region (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Greenland) serve as primary examples and case studies.
