Overview

Analysis reveals contrasting narratives about indigenous peoples in textbooks, indicating hegemony and resistance.

Key Points

  • The analysis uncovers dominant and pejorative views of indigenous peoples, depicting them as poor and marginalized.
  • Counter-discursive elements present indigenous peoples as civilized, rights-bearing partners in the Filipino nation.
  • The study employs Fairclough’s Three-Tiered Model for Critical Discourse Analysis, examining text and social practice.
  • These textbook representations highlight educational policy issues and reflect colonial legacies affecting Filipino identity.
