Pedagogies under the Microscope
RodrÃguez, Clelia O.
Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, v15 n4 p286-295 2021
It is 1932 and this is not a bad dream: A massacre. 32,000 Indigenous peoples massacred in the name of economic development followed by decades of shedding unsalted tears. This historical incision may not be the ideal lesson to include in a teaching plan for students whose education depend exclusively in the imbalance of an Excel sheet where As signify excellence. 1932 requires more than a mathematical reading for learners to "get it." Tests and quizzes are not sufficient to approach the experiences of our descendants because there will never be enough paper or software that absorbs bloody narratives. Not even an A+ . In order to make anything visible, one is required to have someone else see through the other four senses as well. Otherwise, the visualization is not whole. To sense lived experiences, one must touch, hear, smell and taste. It may seem like 1932, within the limits of linear time, is a distant past full of subtle images of dead bodies thrown in ditches one top of each other. Those recurrent images are taught differently if there is no fixed direction in a planned lesson.
