| Abstract | This article brings the Italian activist and thinker Antonio Gramsci's theory of organic intellectualism and the Canadian historian Ian McKay's theory of liberal state-formation to bear on the "Indian Question" -- or how best to yoke Indigenous children and young people to the modern Canadian state. From the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, often violent and disease-ridden "Residential Schools" were the primary means to this end. In the 1960s, a new approach was sought by the province of Ontario, culminating in the landmark education reform document, "Living and Learning: The Report of the Provincial Committee on Aims and Objectives of Education in the Schools of Ontario" (1968). Gentler forms of progressive educational "normalisation" informed by social science were pursued by the committee as a means of generating consent to a Canada now redefined as a postwar "Peaceable Kingdom". This ostensibly kinder strategy nevertheless carried the colonial assumptions of the earlier period into the later one. This was made clear to the committee during the report's preparation by Indigenous intellectuals advising them on Indigenous issues. They saw this liberal-technocratic approach for what it was -- a novel form of neocolonial pedagogical violence. Though they were largely ignored by the committee, their dissent is instructive (as is the committee's resistance to it) and allows us to put the darker corners of Canadian progressive education into historical perspective. (As Provided). |
