Competence is the best defense against the helplessness of trauma. This is, of course, true for all of us. When the job goes bad, when a cherished project fails, when someone you count on leaves you or dies, there are few things as helpful as moving your muscles and doing something that demands focused attention. -Van der Kolk

The valuable knowledge, skills and attitudes gained by students in ethnic
studies is clearly evidenced by the fifteen-year long application of the MAS (Mexican American Studies) program in the Tucson Unified School District that resulted in a 97.5% graduation rate for

Ethnic Studies is the critical and interdisciplinary study of race,
ethnicity, and indigeneity with a focus on the experiences and perspectives of people of color within and beyond the
United States.

Ethnic studies, in the United States, is the interdisciplinary study of race,
ethnicity, and nation, but also sexuality, gender, and other such identities—and
power, as expressed by the state, by civil society, and by individuals.

Since the emergence of ethnic studies as an academic field in the late 1960s,
scholars have analyzed the ways in which race and racism have been, and
continue to be, powerful social, cultural, and political forces and their connections to other axes of
stratification, including gender, class, sexuality, and legal status.

Ethnic Studies effectively works to counter inequality by facilitating
empowering processes that lead to the closing of the persistent and pervasive
achievement gap between Youth of Color and white youth (Arce, 2017)

Modern compulsory schooling is deemed a reductive process and schools serve as key sites for the production of
minority status. The mainstream curriculum strips culture, language,

Colonizing education “takes away” language, identity, culture. It is subtractive schooling. It communicates,
“You do not belong.”
Decolonizing education “brings in.” It welcomes, invites and includes the rich knowledge of students’ lives,
language, histories and ancestors. It adds value to the classroom. It communicates belonging.

Counter-storytelling
“Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter.”
Countering the “master narrative” or “meta-narrative”
Counter-storytelling, at all grade levels, allows students to see themselves, their histories, their ancestry and their identity as an integral part of the historical narrative.

Counter-stories can be used to expose, analyze, as well as challenge deeply entrenched narratives and characterizations of racial privilege gender, class, etc.
Critical Race Theory (CRT) explicitly listens to the lived experience of People of Color through counter-storytelling methods such as family histories, parables, testimonios, dichos (proverbs), and chronicles.

Counter-Narratives / Counter-Storytelling Story making is not simply the art of repetition but rather an act of creation.

Definitions
Decolonial: a term which focuses on understanding modernity in the context of a form of critical theory applied to ethnic studies. It is, in effect, a continuing confrontation of, and delinking from, Eurocentrism : the idea that the history of human civilization has been a trajectory that departed from nature and culminated in Europe.
