Item Description
We are very excited to have an autographed copy of Eve Ewing's newest book in the auction!
Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism - In Original Sins, Ewing demonstrates that our schools were designed to propagate the idea of white intellectual superiority, to "civilize" Native students and to prepare Black students for menial labor. Education was not an afterthought for the Founding Fathers; it was envisioned by Thomas Jefferson as an institution that would fortify the country's racial hierarchy. Ewing argues that these dynamics persist in a curriculum that continues to minimize the horrors of American history. The most insidious aspects of this system fall below the radar in the forms of standardized testing, academic tracking, disciplinary policies, and uneven access to resources. (from Penguin RandomHouse).
A very important book; especially now when public schools and equity in education are under attack.
