87% of key Latino topics are either not covered in U.S. history textbooks or are mentioned in just five or fewer sentences, according to a new study by Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy and UnidosUS.
by Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy and UnidosUS, a national Latino advocacy and research organization.
"Only 28 of 222 important topics were covered well, leaving out many aspects of the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War, the U.S. acquisition of Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal, the modern civil rights movement, Cold War politics, and legal developments shaping the Latino experience, such as the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, and racial segregation," according to a release on the report.Researchers analyzed five U.S.
The report also found that while the AP textbook and a couple of other textbooks contextualized the significance of certain concepts and their impact on the Latino experience — for example the role of nativism to examine how certain groups of people, including Latinos, were treated — other textbooks"were intellectually flat."
The report issued several recommendations, including that publishers develop textbooks"that fully expose students to the experiences of Latinos, incorporating rigorous content including both primary and secondary sources. At a minimum, publishers should commission independent reviews of their texts, measured against the seminal content."
