Education for Democracy: Assimilation or Emancipation for Aboriginal Australians?
Taylor, Anthea
Comparative Education Review, v40 n4 p426-38 Nov 1996
Reviews teaching for and about democracy in Australia, and identifies key concepts embedded in the notion of democracy (representation, leadership, decision making, public criticism). Draws on ethnographic data from settled and remote Aboriginal Australia to explore whether understandings and practices associated with these concepts are shared by the dominant society, and the ramifications of this "fit" for citizenship education.
