Review title: Every teacher needs to read this
Product review: Beverly Slapin has written this guide to help "white folks" develop culturally appropriate literature uses in the classroom and library that do not wound the Native American child's heart. Books are reviewed in detail, with clear and painfully precise reasons why they are NOT recommended (e.g. some of Scholastic's I AM AMERICA books are tagged as pretty reprehensible). Then Slapin and Seale target holidays like Thanksgiving and Columbus Day, which will really unnerve teachers who have never given a thought to these "days of national mourning" from the Native point of view. If you are ready to discard your White Bread America solopsism, this is the book to rip off the blinders. Also read their newest title, BROKEN FLUTE, from Altamira Press.
