How School Materials Teach about the Middle East.

Rubin, Barry

American Educator, v18 n2 p18-25 Sum 1994

Examines ways the Middle East is presented in American high school textbooks, focusing on seven texts. The books are good introductions to culture, geography, and early history, but they do a poor job on contemporary issues, providing a poor foundation for the study of current events in the Middle East.
