MISREPRESENTATION AND SILENCE IN UNITED STATES ...

This open access book investigates how representation of Native Americans and Mexican-origin im
migrants takes place in high school history textbooks. Manually analyzing text and images in
United States textbooks from the 1950s to 2022  the book documents stories of White victory and
domination over Black  Indigenous  and People of Color (BIPOC) groups that disproportionately
fill educational curricula. While representation and accurate information of non-White
perspectives improves over time  the same limited tropes tend to be recycled from one textbook
to the next. Textual analysis is augmented by focus groups and interviews with BIPOC students
in California high schools. Together  the data show how misrepresentation and absence of BIPOC
perspectives in textbooks impact youth identity. This book argues for an innovative rethinking
of US history curricula to consider which stories are told  and which perspectives are
represented.
