Pictorial Bias in Elementary Social Studies Textbooks.

Hawkins, Michael L.

Negro Educational Review, v29 n3-4 p220-24 Jul-Oct 1978, 78

Current editions of texts for elementary students reflect, more than did older texts, the pluralistic nature of American society. However, questions still remain regarding the inclusion of minorities in texts, the extent to which males and females are represented, and the proportion of representation of these two areas.
