In this follow-up to his landmark bestseller, Lies My Teacher Told Me, James Loewen continues to break silences and change our perspectives on U.S. history. Loewen takes history textbooks to task for their perpetuations of myth and their lack of awareness of today’s multicultural student audience (not to mention the astonishing number of “facts†they just get plain wrong).
“How did people get here?†“Why did Europe win?†“Why did the South secede?†In Teaching What Really Happened, Loewen goes beyond the usual textbook-dominated viewpoints to illuminate a wealth of intriguing, often hidden facts about America’s past. Calling for a new way to study history, this book will help readers move beyond traditional textbooks to tackle difficult but important topics, like the American Indian experience, slavery, and race relations. Throughout, Loewen shows time and again how “teaching what really happened†connects better with all kinds of students to get them excited about history.

Teaching What Really Happened How to Avoid the Tyranny of Textbooks and Get Students Excited About Doing History Multicultural Education Series James W Loewen James A Banks Books Reviews
- This is a great supplement to the school textbook. 6th graders get real excited when history is SCANDALOUS, which it truly is, indeed! I kept this book on my teacher's desk, and the kids couldn't wait for learning about what REALLY happened!
- Truth in history is just coming into its own. We need more factual accountings such as those by James Loewen.
- very useful for a teacher
- Lots of examples. Persuasive, engaging and easy to follow.
- great
- Super interesting book for my High School teacher brother!
- This is a book all teachers and prospective teachers should read.
- Wow, some other reviewers have an ax to grind, but I am not sure why they pick on Mr. Loewen to do so. The book is a thoughtful (although sometimes polemic) presentation on why teachers should teach the process of how history is written as well and cover meaningful content. This is in contrast to the "laundry list" style of teaching that most history classes consist of. Loewen argues for more thoughtful and deliberate units that call for analysis and connections between concepts. He asks teachers to ask "Why am I teaching this?" in order for them to be able to communicate to students the significance of the material they are studying.
I did not see any "America hate" in the book. What I see is a passion for history and a call for meaningful and thoughtful history education.
