Used. Good condition. Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong Author: James W. Loewen Edition / Format: [Insert: e.g., Paperback, 2nd Edition, 2018 edition with new preface] Condition: Used – Fair (some wear on cover/spine, possible underlining or notes, all pages present) Description: A provocative and highly-regarded critique of how American history is taught in high schools. Loewen examines popular textbooks and argues they often present a sanitized, mythologized version of U.S. history — glossing over injustices, controversies, and the experiences of marginalized groups. In this book you’ll find: A challenge to traditional textbook narratives about figures like Christopher Columbus, Helen Keller, and Woodrow Wilson. Exploration of how topics such as racism, social class, Native American history, and the role of government are often mis-represented or omitted. A call for students and readers to engage critically with history—recognizing bias, omission, and the complexity of past events. Why it’s useful: This book is ideal for anyone interested in U.S. history, education reform, sociology, or teaching. It makes you rethink what you thought was “settled” history, and encourages deeper exploration.
