The Portrayal of Black Americans in U.S. History Textbooks.

Garcia, Jesus; Tanner, David E.

Social Studies, v76 n5 p200-04 Sep-Oct 1985

An analysis of 11 contemporary secondary U.S. history textbooks showed that the sentences per page devoted to the Black experience represents a substantial increase over more dated textbooks. Not only has the quantity improved, but the range of coverage suggests an improvement in quality as well. (RM)
