Kathleen Korgen: Erased, Gebunden

Klappentext

For fans of James Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me , a bold new popular history exposing the hidden truths about race long omitted from our school textbooks
Following in the tradition of James Loewen's bestselling Lies My Teacher Told Me , Erased peels back the layers of sanitized and hidden histories to reveal the shocking, untold stories of race and racism in the United States--stories deliberately left out of most textbooks. From the enslaved people who built and labored in the White House, to the near extinction of bison as the federal government sought to starve Native peoples into submission, to the nation's role in the Nazis' atrocities of the twentieth century, Erased delivers thirty-eight eye-opening chapters that expose what is often deliberately erased from U. S. history lessons.

Through careful research and vivid storytelling, sociologists Nikki Khanna and Kathleen Odell Korgen bring readers into moments rarely included in traditional accounts of U. S. history, bridging the gap between what we were taught and what we should know about our past.

For concerned citizens, students, and educators, Erased will inform, inspire, and leave readers ready to engage in meaningful conversations about America's past and its impact on today.
