Using scholarly analysis and personal narrative, Nakata shows that 'the culture of education may change ...but its politics...remain unchallenged...western experts are still naming the game, still identifying the problem, and they are still providing the 'solution' on our behalf'. (Blacklines, p. 142) He concludes that 'as people positioned in the margins, and as people of colour, we need to be critically literate not simply in any liberal sense, but in a political sense.' (Blacklines, p. 144)
