    Rethinking Our Past: Recognizing Facts Fictions, and Lies in American History - 7 Discs with 14 Lectures<br /> Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong - 12 Discs Unabridged<br /> <br /> http://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Me/dp/1402579373/<br /> <br /> From Publishers Weekly<br /> Loewen's politically correct critique of 12 American history textbooks&mdash;including The American Pageant by Thomas A. Bailey and David M. Kennedy; and Triumph of the American Nation by Paul Lewis Todd and Merle Curti&mdash;is sure to please liberals and infuriate conservatives. In condemning the way history is taught, he indicts everyone involved in the enterprise: authors, publishers, adoption committees, parents and teachers. Loewen (Mississippi: Conflict and Change) argues that the bland, Eurocentric treatment of history bores most elementary and high school students, who also find it irrelevant to their lives. To make learning more compelling, Loewen urges authors, publishers and teachers to highlight the drama inherent in history by presenting students with different viewpoints and stressing that history is an ongoing process, not merely a collection of&mdash;often misleading&mdash;factoids. Readers interested in history, whether liberal or conservative, professional or layperson, will find food for thought here.

Within that book are many facts about American (and world) history to which most people have simply never been exposed. Nationalist history by textbook authors and the descendants or biographers of the famous and infamous have given history students a very skewed vision of our true history&mdash;indeed, the true history of mankind.<br /> <br /> This course is designed to enlighten and encourage you to consider the factual basis of many of our most-cherished yet glossed-over stories and the real-life characters who populate them. From archaeological misinformation to investigations into the nature of modern public policy, Professor Loewen challenges you to consider the history of what &ldquo;was&rdquo; rather than what has been told by standard teaching methods and textbooks.<br /> <br /> This is history revealed. This is history as it was made, not as it is usually taught by well-meaning, but misdirected, teachers. Go back in time and recover what has been &ldquo;lost.&rdquo; The historical truth helps to make sense of our present circumstances as Americans and for our future as world citizens.
