Description
This book: on the power of intergenerational truth-telling as civic democratic practice, was written for high school students.Many students of color come to college, frustrated, and asking, "How come we never learned our histories and stories in high school?"
The histories of Black, Asian American, Latinx, and LGBTQ students are often elided from high school history teaching and in their textbooks, when, our stories are very much imbricated within the fabric of US history.
The contributors to this anthology share some of their personal narratives and elided histories that we hope can be inspirational for students, educators, and families to discuss together. Our hope is for more stories to be told, written, and discussed. Our country needs truth-telling and civic engagement from people of all ages to make our democracy flourish. This anthology is intergenerational, highlighting the importance of mutual and reciprocal learning-we have much to learn from one another.
Reviews
We need a bold new vision for how we think about education so that we can address the question, "how do we wish to live together?" These essays encourage us to interrogate how we know "what we know" so that we can imagine a more deeply interconnected-and genuinely inclusive-future. Stephen Seng-hua Mak. Assistant Head of School for Program and Innovation, PreK-12, The Berkeley Carroll School
If there was ever a time for an intergenerational conversation, it is now. Youth crave political insight, and elders are eager to be in dialogue with them. This anthology moves us in a direction to better understand how to make the world we all desire to live in. Ula Y. Taylor. Professor, University of California Berkeley, Department of African American Studies. 1960 Chair of Undergraduate Education
The insightful contributors to this anthology paint a tapestry, not one that points to the easy understandings, but one that invites us to wrestle with hard truths. Ideas come in the form of autobiographical narrative, retelling of Movement history, and pedagogical lessons. They weave together a book that asks us to rethink Asian American experiences in relation to Blackness, to colonial histories, to gender and sexuality. We hear multiple generations of activists, artists, storytellers, and ordinary people sharing their stories that connect us and challenge us towards more complex understandings of the world. Diane C. Fujino. Professor, Asian American Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
For youth in particular, intergenerational truth-telling is absolutely vital to both historical understanding and to building a future democracy for all. This powerful and inspiring anthology charts a compelling path forward in this critically important work; as such, it deserves the widest possible audience. Waldo E. Martin, Jr.; Alexander F. and May T. Morrison Professor of American History and Citizenship. University of California, Berkeley
