About this product
Product Information
Now adapted for young readers ages 12 through 18, the national bestseller that makes real American history come alive in all of its conflict, drama, and complexity Lies My Teacher Told Me is one of the most important--and successful--history books of our time. Having sold nearly two million copies, the book won an American Book Award and the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship. Now Rebecca Stefoff, the acclaimed nonfiction children's writer who adapted Howard Zinn's bestseller A People's History of the United States for young readers, makes Loewen's beloved work available to younger students. Essential reading in our age of fake news and slippery, sloppy history, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Young Readers' Edition cuts through the mindless optimism and outright lies found in most textbooks that are often not even really written by their "authors." Loewen is, as historian Carol Kammen has said, the history teacher we all should have had. Beginning with pre-Columbian history and then covering characters and events as diverse as the first Thanksgiving, Helen Keller, the My Lai massacre, 9/11, and the Iraq War, Loewen's lively, provocative telling of American history is a "counter-textbook that retells the story of the American past" ( The Nation ). This streamlined young readers' edition is rich in vivid details and quotations from primary sources that poke holes in the textbook versions of history and help students develop a deeper understanding of our world. Lies My Teacher Told Me: Young Readers' Edition brings this classic text to a new generation of readers (and their parents and teachers) who will welcome and value its honesty, its humor, and its integrity.

Reviews
Praise for Lies My Teacher Told Me: Young Readers' Edition: "Accessible, eye-opening. . . . A cogent argument for studying historical nuances. [Loewen] argues that young people should not be deprived of hearing the incredible truth of American history in service to avoidance of controversy or blinkered, parochial nationalism." -- Kirkus Reviews "Powerful . . . it serves as a crucial counter-textbook to provide a more realistic and critical narrative about the American past." -- Truthdig "Here is a call to action that will have students furiously turning the pages and inspire them to question everything. Young people: Read this book, and then talk back to your history teacher!" --Jesse Hagopian, co-editor of Teaching for Black Lives and high school history teacher "Lies My Teacher Told Me was a big inspiration to me as a young writer, and I'm excited to see this new young readers' edition. Loewen's fascinating book is full of little-known stories, debunked myths, provocative ideas--and, best of all, it challenges readers to think for themselves!" --Steve Sheinkin, author of Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War "The young readers' edition of James Loewen's classic text Lies My Teacher Told Me imparts vital history in a thoroughly engaging way. Countless teachers have tossed their textbooks aside after reading Lies My Teacher Told Me and now younger readers will be able to learn the truth about history, including race, land, the climate, foreign policy, political leadership and much, much more." --Deborah Menkart, executive director, Teaching for Change, and co-director, Zinn Education Project "True stories--otherwise known as history--need to be told transparently, in all their messy, marvelous, multi-faceted glory. Loewen's Lies tells the truth to young readers, creating a new crop of critical thinkers and active citizens." --Tanya Lee Stone, NAACP Image Award winner and Sibert medalist "James Loewen's book is a lively and trustworthy guide to what's wrong with the way we teach history, starting with the textbooks we ask our students to read in school. That students find him irresistible is not hard to explain. Loewen himself is forever young at heart: energetic, curious, skeptical, irreverent, and yet deeply idealistic. Artfully adapted for young readers by Rebecca Stefoff, the text has not been dumbed down one bit." --James Goodman, professor of history at Rutgers University, Newark, and Pulitzer Prize finalist, Praise for Lies My Teacher Told Me: Young Readers' Edition: Named one of the "Ultimate Guidebooks for LBGTQ+ Youth in 2019" by the Advocate "LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME: YOUNG READERS' EDITION is the perfect gift to help the young historian enthusiast get woke with the facts rather than a fictitious narrative."--The Advocate "[The book] not only imparts vital history left out of textbooks, it also prepares the next generation to be critical readers of the media." --Rethinking Schools "Evocative and thought-provoking, this is what history should be." --Booklist "Accessible, eye-opening. . . .

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
