Title: A Glimpse at True American History
Review: I found Education for Extinction to be a well written, informative, yet fairly easy read. Adams' use of language created clear illustrations of the boarding school administration, the staff and the students. He was also able to capture the heartbreak and despair felt by Native American students and parents as their lives were forever changed upon entrance to boarding schools.Adams did appear to minimize the atrocities of events that happened within the boarding school system. Although he touched on some of the abuses that occurred, it appeared as though they were minimized, which I hope was for the benefit of the reader and not based on the subjectivity of the author.Education for Extinction provides a clearly written account of the near genocide of Indigenous People in America through indoctrination of boarding schools. A highly recommended read for anyone interested in learning true American history.
