Taking Control is a critical ethnography of the Native Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia. It presents an intimate view of the centre, focusing on the ways that people who work there - First Nations students, board members, teachers, and non-Native teachers - talk about and put into practice their beliefs about First Nations control. As Michael Apple comments in the preface, their stories provide concrete evidence of what can be accomplished when the complicated politics of education is taken seriously.
