Powers of Depiction - School History Texts Used in Canada and the U.S. (Paperback)

History books contain the core and contradictions inherent in civics education and national identity. In this book, an attempt is made to understand the nature of these 'self-proclaiming truths' as they are taught to students at the secondary level. While it is by no means comprehensive, it at least begins the closer examination needed to first understand and subsequently break down the artificially created borders of understanding that separate far too many groups of people. While Canada and the United States are not the ideal subjects to look at, one must begin somewhere. From that point, discovery will be yield its own rewards as the reseacher moves from one geo-political setting to another. We are far more inter-connected than we are dis-connected.
