Overview Reading | Bigelow, B. (2008) Introduction: A People’s History, A People’s Pedagogy, pp. 1-20. A People’s History for the Classroom. Milwaukee, WI: Rethinking Schools.
What is History? What is Pedagogy? | You can’t be nuetral on a moving train! “Zinn’s people’s history is passionate, probing, and partisan.
- Zinn begins from the premise that the lives of ordinary people matter -that history ought to focus on those who too often receive only token attention (workers, women, people of color), and also on
- How people’s actions, individually and collectively, shaped our society.
- And it’s a people’s history in that it’s a perspective on the past that is usable today,
- That can instruct and inspire and caution as we try to make the world a better place.”
American history textbooks can differ across the country, in ways that are shaded by partisan politics. The New York Times | Two States. Eight Textbooks. Two American Stories.
