About the Book

Teaching the truth about our history to young children is essential in our quest to dismantle racism in the United States. Pre-service teachers must reconceptualize teaching history to young children by teaching the hidden histories of our nation so that young children can challenge their own biases and assumptions created by a white supremacist society. Teaching the Truth: Uncovering the Hidden History of Racism with Young Children counters the recent narrative that African American History should be whitewashed instead centering it in the early childhood curriculum. Topics covered in this book include: the institution of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow era, The Great Migration, Segregation of schools, Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Police Brutality and Black Lives Matter.

About the Author :
Miriam Tager is associate professor of Early Childhood Education at Westfield State University in Massachusetts.

Review :
Tager presents a strong argument for teaching about racism in the early grades. Drawing on her qualitative research with elementary school faculty, she highlights the obstacles these faculty face in implementing anti-racist pedagogy and curricula. She documents recent efforts by conservative ideologues and state legislatures to sanitize US history, contending that many preservice and veteran elementary educators have not been taught the history of Black Americans, hampering their capacity to integrate it into their daily teaching. According to Tager, recent efforts to censor history will only exacerbate an already bad situation. The first two chapters provide the theoretical grounding for chapters 3–10, which discuss specific topics on Black history for inclusion in early-grade curricula. These chapters also include recommended classroom activities for use with young children. The book concludes with appendixes of recommended books and resources and a reference list. The author could have drawn on more nationwide studies of US history curriculum and instruction to buttress her qualitative research evidence, but that is a minor criticism. Recommended for teacher education faculty and preservice and veteran classroom teachers. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates, faculty, and professionals. Knowing that children’s books are being banned and people purposefully silenced, Dr. Tager’s writings surface marginalized and often ignored, yet so critically important, histories of racism as truth telling! This powerful array of chapters dedicate themselves to opening the wounds and assisting early childhood educators, families and children, and teacher educators to learn how to openly discuss truths of our racist past and present day perpetuations. Her work lifts us toward actions, making the world a better place.
