Summary: "Unsettling the Gap takes the global problem of 'Indigenous educational disadvantage' and unravels the multiple, intersecting discourses that have culminated in the Australian context in the 'Closing the Gap' policy. Through closely examining the Australian case, Unsettling the Gap finds the notion of 'gap' to be a complex and multiple signifier, influenced by transnational ideas connected to empire and imperialism"-- Provided by publisher.
