This paper reviews the research work of Dr Stephen Harris in his 1990 book entitled Two-Way Schooling: Education and Cultural Survival. It is not possible to review the book in its entirety in great detail, so an overall view will be taken and the following key questions will be answered:
• who is doing the talking?
• what kind of Indigenous subjects are being constructed?
• how is the construction ofworld view achieved?
• are there any alternatives?
