Recenzje

"The institution of slavery is arguably one of the most important and misunderstood institutions that shaped the United States. Slavery had a profound impact on the nation's economics, politics, and culture. However, the scope, scale, and lasting impact of slavery is minimally taught in schools and generally misunderstood. Through Teaching Enslavement in American History: Lesson Plans and Primary Sources, H. Robert Baker, Chara Bohan, and LaGarrett King offer an invaluable resource for educators and other interested in effective instruction about slavery in the United States. Each chapter presents essential historical context, primary source materials, and engaging lesson plans aligned with a number of standards, including Advanced Placement United States History standards. This text provides a clear roadmap for educators to not only develop their own understanding of slavery but also clear, easy to follow lesson plans for students. Considering the challenges around race the nation faces today, this is an essential text and tool for learning."-Joseph E. Flynn, Jr., Associate Professor, Northern Illinois University; Author of White Fatigue: Rethinking Resistance for Social Justice
