The popular, “thought-provoking study” that explores how contemporary prejudices change the way each generation looks at the nation’s past (Library Journal). Historian Kyle Ward, the acclaimed co-author of History Lessons, offers another fascinating look at the biases inherent in the way we think about, write about, and teach our own history. Juxtaposing passages from US history textbooks of different eras, History in the Making provides new perspectives on familiar historical events, and sheds light on the ways they have been represented over generations. Covering subjects that span two hundred years, from Columbus’s arrival to the Boston Massacre, from women’s suffrage to Japanese internment, History in the Making exposes the changing values, priorities, and points of view that have framed—and reframed—our past. “Interesting and useful . . . convincingly illustrates how texts change as social and political attitudes evolve.” —Booklist “Students, teachers, and general readers will learn more about the past from these passages than from any single work, however current, that purports to monopolize the truth.” —Ray Raphael, author of Founding Myths

Take a topic, let's say, American Indians, here is an excerpt from a book in 1844, and one in 1901, and one in 1944, and one in 1967 each from textbooks of the time, and see how the viewpoint changes (or doesn't?) . It is not fun to read, surprisingly. It is kind of dry. Maybe because textbooks are careful not to be too enthusiastic in opinion, so you don't start out with "raving savages" and go to a more objective "broken treaties" and then to the sympathetic today "we really screwed them". It would be much more fun to do this with newspapers, they used to be quite colorful and you might find out that Lincoln was a scoundrel and then a beloved victim, and then the greatest President ever, and so on. History does change in its viewpoints as we pass from the date and when we have the big picture without the emotion, but you won't find much of that in this book. Good book for teachers, probably, but not exciting enough for students-- unless you are doing a paper or something.
