Description: Title: Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years Editor: Bigelow, Bill Publisher: Rethinking Schools Binding: Paperback Pages: 192 Dimensions: 10.81h x 8.33w x 0.43d Product Weight: 0.96 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780942961201 Why rethink Christopher Columbus? Because the Columbus myth is a foundation of children's beliefs about society. Columbus is often a child's first lesson about encounters between different cultures and races. The murky legend of a brave adventurer tells children whose version of history to accept, and whose to ignore. It says nothing about the brutality of the European invasion of North America. We need to listen to a wider range of voices. We need to hear from those whose lands and rights were taken away by those who "discovered" them. Their stories, too often suppressed, tell of 500 years of courageous struggle, and the lasting wisdom of native peoples. Understanding what really happened to them in 1492 is key to understanding why people suffer the same injustices today. More than 80 essays, poems, interviews, historical vignettes, and lesson plans reevaluate the myth of Columbus and issues of indigenous rights. Rethinking Columbus is packed with useful teaching ideas for kindergarten through college. Ships Fast From The USA! Authorized Dealer
