Ethnic Group Images in History Texts

Garcia, Jesus

Social Studies, 68, 6, 241-4, Nov/Dec 77

A study evaluated the portrayal of white and non-white ethnic groups in selected textbooks. Results show that writers usually describe ethnic groups in neutral terms. However, some writers, in describing ethnic group interaction with white Americans, associate the ethnic groups with more negative than positive terms. (Author/AV)
