Textbooks and the American Indian / by Henry, Jeannette.(CARDINAL)168167; American Indian Historical Society.(CARDINAL)133332;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 255-262).The background -- Let the people in -- The general criteria -- American history and geography -- State and regional history -- Government and citizenship -- American Indians -- World history and geography -- A sampling of readers -- Three classics of criticism -- A commentary of curriculum."These evaluations are the work of thirty-two Indian scholars, native historians, and Indian students. More than three hundred books were examined in the course of this Study. Not one could be approved as a dependable source of knowledge about the history and culture of the Indian people in America. most of the books were, in one way or another, derogatory to the Native Americans. Most contained misinformation, distortions, or omissions of important history. All these books are currently being used in the schools of this country. Some of the older ones have given way to others which are just as bad. All of those listed as texts of the Bureau of Indian Affairs were in use for teaching Indian students at the date of this printing. None have been retired by the publishers. A textbook is an instrument of learning, which may be compared to an automobile as an instrument of transportation. An automobile which has defective brakes or is otherwise not dependable, is recalled by the manufacturer, so that lives may not be endangered. But a textbook which is defective, inaccurate, and unreliable, is not retired despite the possibility that minds may be endangered."-- Page 11.

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"--

Invisible women : data bias in a world designed for men / by Criado-Perez, Caroline,author.(CARDINAL)789446;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 322-391) and index."Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development to health care to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates this shocking root cause of gender inequality in Invisible Women. Examining the home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more, Criado Perez unearths a dangerous pattern in data and its consequences on women's lives. Product designers use a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to everything from pianos to cell phones to voice recognition software, when in fact this approach is designed to fit men. Cities prioritize men's needs when designing public transportation, roads, and even snow removal, neglecting to consider women's safety or unique responsibilities and travel patterns. And in medical research, women have largely been excluded from studies and textbooks, leaving them chronically misunderstood, mistreated., and misdiagnosed. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, highly readable exposé that will change the way you look at the world"--Dust jacket.
