Loewen Chapters 5-8 James T Dabbagian CSU Long Beach
Gone with the wind
The interpretation of slavery in textbooks
CHOCOLATE RAIN
Most of our popular culture is blended with race in some form
Question One How is this examination of this chapter ethnographic in a sense?
Question Two Does Ethnocentrism play a role? If So, how?
Abraham Lincoln  and John Brown
The disappearance of Anti-racism in textbooks
Sane
INsane
Several textbooks from 1890 to 1970 treated John Brown as insane
Abraham Lincoln
Anti-racist
I should like to know if taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, and making exceptions to it: Where will it stop?
Not a one.
Most of Lincoln’s anti-racist remarks are left out by authors.
Questions? Does Ethnocentrism play a role in leaving out Brown and Lincoln? If so, how? What does the portrayal of these individuals in these textbooks say about our culture?
The Land of Opportunity
Social Class
Misrepresentations of the poor and working class
The middle class has only gotten better.
We’re all part of the middle class!
Bull.
Social class is still present
But history writers don’t write about it.
Cultural Materialism
How does it work?
Watching Big Brother
The same state as 1789
Morality Play
America: Protector of liberty, Truth, Democracy, and the world.
Business Influence gets left out
Halliburton
The Oil industry
The tobacco industry
Nonexistent in high school classes.
US is the good guy, bad parts go blank.
Questions Ethnocentrism plays another role here. Why? Is it Americentric?
General Questions What are these chapters? Are they positivist? Interpretive?  Is the writing itself guilty of bias? Are textbook writers postmodern? Do they integrate ideas of race and other issues well? Why? If not postmodern, what are they?
