Lies my teacher told me : a graphic adaptation / by Loewen, James W.,author.(CARDINAL)154287; Powell, Nate,illustrator,adapter.(CARDINAL)340179;
Introduction: something has gone very wrong -- Handicapped by history: the process of hero making -- 1493: the true importance of Christopher Columbus -- The first Thanksgiving -- Red eyes -- Gone with the wind: the invisibility of racism in American history textbooks -- John Brown and Abraham Lincoln: the invisibility of antiracism in American history textbooks -- The land of opportunity -- Watching big brother: what textbooks teach about the Federal government -- See no evil: choosing not to look at the war in Vietnam -- Down the memory hole: the disappearance of the recent past -- History and the future -- Does this way of teaching history work? -- Afterword: the future lies ahead (and what to do about them)."Lies My Teacher Told Me has become one of the most important--and beloved--American history books of our time. As the late Howard Zinn said, "Every teacher, every student of history, every citizen should read this book." Now the brilliant, award-winning artist Nate Powell--the first cartoonist ever to win a National Book Award--has adapted Loewen's classic work into a graphic edition that perfectly captures both Loewen's groundbreaking text and the irreverent spirit of his work. Eye-popping illustrations bring to life the true history chronicled in Lies My Teacher Told Me, and ample text boxes and callouts ensure nothing is lost in translation. The book will be perfect for those making their first foray past the shroud of history textbooks, and it will also be beloved by those who had their minds blown when they first encountered "Lies My Teacher Told Me."--Grades 7-9.

Teaching white supremacy : America's democratic ordeal and the forging of our national identity / by Yacovone, Donald,author.(CARDINAL)358722;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 393-402) and index.Introduction -- The Contours of White Supremacy -- "The White Republic Against the World": The Toxic Legacy of John H. Van Evrie -- From "Slavery" to "Servitude": Initial Patterns, 1832 to 1866 -- The Emancipationist Challenge, 1867 to 1883 -- Causes Lost and Found, 1883 to 1919 -- Educating for "Eugenicide" in the 1920s -- Lost Cause Victorious, 1920-1964 -- Renewing the Challenge -- Epilogue."A powerful, eagerly anticipated exploration (past and present) of white supremacy in the teachings of our national education system, its depth, breadth, and persistence-and how, through generations of our nation's most esteemed educators and textbooks, racism has been insidiously fostered-North and South-at all levels of learning. . In Teaching White Supremacy, Donald Yacovone shows us the clear and damning evidence of white supremacy's deep-seated roots in our nation's education system in a fascinating, in-depth examination of America's wide assortment of texts, from primary readers to college textbooks and other higher-ed course materials. Sifting through a wealth of materials, from the colonial era to today, Yacovone reveals the systematic ways in which white supremacist ideology has infiltrated American culture and how it has been at the heart of our collective national identity. Yacovone lays out the arc of America's white supremacy from the country's inception and Revolutionary years to its 19th century flashpoint of civil war; to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and today's Black Lives Matter. And, the author argues that it is the North, not the South, that bears the greater responsibility for creating the dominant strain of race theory, inculcated throughout the culture and in school textbooks, that restricted and repressed African Americans and other minorities, even as Northerners blamed the South for its legacy of slavery, segregation and racial injustice"--

Henry Ossawa Tanner : art, faith, race, and legacy / by Woods, Naurice Frank,Jr.,author.(CARDINAL)226664; Tanner, Henry Ossawa,1859-1937,artist.(CARDINAL)122817; Routledge (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)764271;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-257) and index.Prologue: Henry Ossawa Tanner, "Negro painter" -- Introduction: Creativity and racism in the nineteenth century -- Of the father and of the son: the rise of Benjamin and Henry Tanner -- Into the south and across the sea: Atlanta and Paris beckon -- The American interlude: race and religion on canvas -- Crossing over Jordan: salon triumph and spiritual crisis -- A salon master in a modern century -- The Great War, the new Negro, and the celestial city -- Epilogue: The redemption of memory."Over the last forty years, renewed interest in the career of Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859-1937) has vaulted him into expanding scholarly discourse on American art. Consequently, he has emerged as the most studied and recognized representative of African American art during the nineteenth century. In fact, Tanner, in the spirit of political correctness and racial inclusiveness, has gained a prominent place in recent textbooks on mainstream American art and his painting, The Banjo Lesson (1893), has become an iconic symbol of black creativity. In addition, Tanner achieved national recognition when the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1991 and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2012 celebrated him with major retrospectives. The latter exhibition brought in a record number of viewers. While Tanner lived a relatively simple life where his faith and family dictated many of the choices he made daily, his emergence as a prominent black artist in the late nineteenth century often thrust him openly into coping with the social complexities inherent with America's great racial divide. In order to fully appreciate how he negotiated prevailing prejudices to find success, this book places him in the context of a uniquely talented black man experiencing the demands and rewards of nineteenth-century high art and culture. By careful examination on multiple levels previously not detailed, this book adds greatly to existing Tanner scholarship and provides readers with a more complete, richly deserved portrait of this preeminent American master." --
