Biculturalism remains a myth in post-colonial communities like New Zealand where the colonised indigenous community do not share an equality of voice or power. The paper offers a brief history of Maori education, followed by description of some of the pitfalls of applying critical theory and critical pedagogy without reproducing neo-colonial effects. It then. lays out a transcultural critical pedagogy with illustrated examples and concludes by suggesting that that if we are to avert or ameliorate the global crises we are facing there is no alternative to a dramatic and radical transformation of education using excavated elements of precolonial knowledge and pedagogies.
