    This is a must read. This book is a winner of the American Book Award and The Oliver Cox Anti Racism Award. This tells the real story of the Native Americans, how slavery was abolished and what Columbus really discovered. This book also tells why we learn about America History the way our school books taught us.

  • lies my teacher told me

    Well, this is a good book, I am sure, if you read it. It has so much information that it is not what I would consider and easy read! My 15 year old daughter who loves to devour books, had trouble with this one. She said that she just could not get in to it. I confess that I feel the same way.

  • Loewen's politically correct critique of 12 American history textbooks-including The American Pageant by Thomas A. Bailey and David M. Kennedy; and Triumph of the American Nation by Paul Lewis Todd and Merle Curti-is sure to please liberals and infuriate conservatives. In condemning the way history is taught, he indicts everyone involved in the enterprise: authors, publishers, adoption committees, parents and teachers. Loewen (Mississippi: Conflict and Change) argues that the bland, Eurocentric treatment of history bores most elementary and high school students, who also find it irrelevant to their lives. To make learning more compelling, Loewen urges authors, publishers and teachers to highlight the drama inherent in history by presenting students with different viewpoints and stressing that history is an ongoing process, not merely a collection of-often misleading-factoids. Readers interested in history, whether liberal or conservative, professional or layperson, will find food for thought here. Illustrated. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
