Decoding the Social Studies Production of Chicano History.

Arries, Jonathan F.

Equity and Excellence in Education, v27 n1 p37-44 Apr 1994

Analyzes in two fifth-grade social studies textbooks, the production of three "foundation myths" relating to Chicanos in American history: (1) Texas independence and the Alamo, (2) the Mexican War, and (3) the 20-century struggle for civil rights. How these contribute to cultural degradation is discussed. (SLD)
