About the Author
About the Contributors
Sandy Grande is associate professor and Chair of the Education Department at Connecticut College. Her research interfaces critical Indigenous theories with the concerns of education. In addition to Red Pedagogy: Native American Social and Political Thought (2004, 2015), she has also published several book chapters and articles including: Accumulation of the Primitive: The Limits of Liberalism and the Politics of Occupy Wall Street.
The first edition of Red Pedagogy had a deservedly powerful impact.
This new edition is even more powerful. It combines a searing
critique with renewed insights and passion—and at the same time
asks all of us who calls ourselves critical educators
to challenge some of the very bases of what we take for
granted and who the "we" actually is.

Change Society?”*
This may well be the most important book you will read on the
United States educational system viewed through the lens of the
Native American experience; its history, present, and future, come
into focus. Red Pedagogy is a classic work already, and with this
10th Anniversary edition, it soars beyond the original text to a
collective collaboration, expanding and deepening its profound
thesis, which in the 21st century finds Native Nations as prisoners
of democracy under a continuing colonial regime. Free of jargon,
this beautifully composed, powerful, and ultimately hopeful book
should be read by everyone.
*Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, author of “An Indigenous Peoples' History of
the United States”*
Situated in an academic context of intellectual sectarianism, Sandy
Grande’s 10th anniversary edition of Red Pedagogy distinguishes
itself from re-prints of other classic texts in that it is
accompanied by a handful of leading critical and indigenous
scholars Grande boldly invited to critique and extend her work. The
second extended (but not expanded) edition of Red Pedagogy is
therefore a welcomed and much needed revolutionary intervention
into anti-colonialist/anti-capitalist scholarship. Coming at
a time of both heightened imperialist immiseration and
anti-colonialist/anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist resistance,
Grande’s interrelated call for critique and collectivity points to
a rigorous red pedagogy desperately needed to sharpen analysis and
hone a collective strategy, which also happens to be, for
communists, the purpose of the party.
Indeed, Red Pedagogy’s commitment to bring together Critical
Indigenous Studies and critical pedagogy, including Marxism, in a
dialectical, revolutionizing relationship is further evidence of
the ways Grande demonstrates (as does the party) how collectivity
does not require sacrificing the individual to the collective, but
rather creates an experience of mutuality and togetherness
demonstrating the cruel deception of a socially isolating and
dangerous settler (i.e. capitalist) logic.
The second edition of Red Pedagogy, due to its theoretical and
methodological advancements, will continue to inform the practice
and debate concerning education’s role in the movement against the
dispossession, exploitation, and disempowerment of Indigenous
Nations and against imperialism and capitalism more generally. The
second edition of Red Pedagogy will surely become another classic
in its own right.
*Curry Malott, West Chester University of PA*
The first edition of Red Pedagogy established Sandy Grande as
one of the most important critical educational scholars because, as
an indigenous scholar-activist, she asked us to consider what it
meant to do critical pedagogy in the context of settler
colonialism. In this new edition of Red Pedagogy, Grande pushes the
conversation even further, inviting us to think about the complex
relationship of critical politics and indigeneity amidst sharpening
racial and economic inequalities, white supremacy, and in the
continuing wake of #IdleNoMore and #BlackLivesMatter. Anyone
interested in understanding the intersection of radicalized
capitalism, indigenous liberation, and critical pedagogy needs to
read the 10th Anniversary Edition of Red Pedagogy.
*Wayne Au, Associate Professor, University of Washington Bothell;
editor, Rethinking Schools*
Red Pedagogy constitutes one of the most significant indigenous
scholarly works in the critical pedagogical tradition. In this
second edition, Sandy Grande powerfully returns to her earlier
theoretical arguments to further extend her original ideas in ways
that beautifully contribute to both the longstanding historical
struggle for liberation within indigenous communities and to a
decolonizing politics that must be at the heart of all educational
struggles for social justice today.

Leadership, Loyola Marymount University, author of “Culture and
