詹姆斯·洛温发现,美国课堂上使用的教科书都充斥着错误的信息和短视的见解。本书针对这一现象写作而成,它改变了我们与美国历史的关系。在书中,洛温详细剖析了美国现行的历史教科书,并对教科书中的谎言进行了细致入微的分析,展示了历史的生动性与复杂性。
他从前哥伦布时代着笔,涉猎重建、海伦·凯勒、第一个感恩节、梅莱大屠杀等多种人物与事件,对现有的教科书提出了令人大开眼界的批评,对美国历史进行了令人着迷的重述,指出了美国历史应该如何以及能够如何向美国学生讲授。他指出爱国主义是谎言的主要温床,为了宣扬爱国主义,美国中学历史教科书不惜“肢解”历史,英雄化历史人物,如哥伦布、杰斐逊、帕特里克·亨利、海伦·凯勒、威尔逊、林肯,等等。洛温痛心地指出,爱国主义无助于培养学生的独立思考能力。
在这本修订版中,洛温进一步考察了初版《老师的谎言》问世之后出版的6本中学历史教科书。他以一种独特的手法,为每章添加了新的素材,指出了这些新版教科书哪些地方更为正确,哪些地方仍有严重的错误,哪些地方反而变得更遭了。修订版中,洛温还增加了一章,分析教科书如何对待2001年恐怖袭击以及伊拉克战争。

Work Description
Since its first publication in 1995, Lies My Teacher Told Me has gone on to win an American Book Award, the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship, and to sell over half a million copies in its various editions. What started out as a survey of the twelve leading American history textbooks has ended up being what the San Francisco Chronicle calls "an extremely convincing plea for truth in education." In Lies My Teacher Told Me, James W. Loewen brings history alive in all its complexity and ambiguity. Beginning with pre-Columbian history and ranging over characters and events as diverse as Reconstruction, Helen Keller, the first Thanksgiving, and the Mai Lai massacre, Loewen offers an eye-opening critique of existing textbooks, and a wonderful retelling of American history as it should -- and could -- be taught to American students. - Publisher.
