Thanks so much for your review of what is clearly an excellent book, putting history in context and showing that a full history is vital to deeper understanding of how we came to be where we are now. I guess it also shows why books like this, that reveal the full picture, are considered so dangerous by those who want to keep that history obscured.
Much appreciate your review of the book. In particular the quotes provided an additional impetus to want the book. Might it be possible to have the page numbers for where the quotes are from? ;-)
Plus, just ordered the book based upon your review. :-)
This is such a powerful quote in light of the legislation being proposed, and sometimes passed, in the U.S. that limits information students have access to about our history.
"It is a call to action for all of us to re-examine our understanding of history and to actively work towards a more inclusive and accurate representation of the past.”
Great review! Another one to add to my Kindle!
