Lies My Teacher Told Me Zusammenfassung

Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong James W. Loewen

Since its first publication in 1995, Lies My Teacher Told Me has become one of the most important - and successful - history books of our time. Having sold over two million copies, the book also won an American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship and was heralded on the front page of the New York Times in the summer of 2006. For this new edition, Loewen has added a new introduction that shows how inadequate history courses in high school help produce adult Americans who think Donald Trump can solve their problems.

Lies My Teacher Told Me Bewertungen

Praise for Lies My Teacher Told Me:
Powerful . . . it serves as a crucial counter-textbook to provide a more realistic and critical narrative about the American past.
-Truthdig

A treat to read and a serious critique of American education.
-Award Citation, American Book Award

Remarkable.
-USA Today

A lively critique.
-The New York Times

Honest and well-written.
-Harper's Magazine

Loewen's book contains so much history that it ends up functioning not just as a critique, but also as a kind of counter-textbook that retells the story of the American past.
-The Nation

Every teacher, every student of history, every citizen should read this book. It is both a refreshing antidote to what has passed for history in our educational system and a one-volume education in itself.
-Howard Zinn
