The purpose of this study was to compare the depictions of African-Americans in
U.S. History textbooks in the years 1968-1971 with the revised textbooks from the same
publishers published between 1990-1995. A total of seven U.S. History textbooks were
used in this study and were selected by their 1995 publishing rank order. Four textbooks
were used for a comparative analysis and were examined page by page. Two textbooks
were surveyed for additional information. A seventh textbook was used as a multicultural
model and compared with the three revised texts.
Eleven historical topics were evaluated in each of the textbooks. Topics and
subcategories emerged during the content analysis of the initial textbooks. The author
assigned an estimation of the number of paragraphs assigned to each topic. The revised
texts dedicated more information to the history of African-Americans and the information
tended to take account of African-Americans perspectives. Conclusions concerning areas
of strength in each of the revised textbooks were given. |
