• Erased — For fans of James Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me, a bold new popular history about how our school textbooks whitewash the topic of race in America   In keeping with a September 2025 Trump administration plan for “patriotic education” that inspires “a love of country,” the teaching of slavery, race, and inequality in America’s schools is being suppressed, and students are increasingly rarely being taught about African/Black influence on American society and culture, or about the contributions of Black innovators, scholars, and leaders. In a myth-busting account following the tradition of James Loewen’s bestselling Lies My Teacher Told Me, Erased peels back the layers of newly sanitized narratives to reveal the shocking, untold stories of race and racism in the United States—stories that were left out of your textbooks. From the enslaved laborers who built the White House, to the widespread phenomenon of “sundown towns,” and the Black communities destroyed by the building of highways, Erased delivers seventy concise, accessible and eye-opening chapters that challenge the core myths of American history with straightforward, little-known facts. Written by two renowned sociology professors. Erased bridges the gap between what we were taught and what we need to know. For students, educators, or concerned citizens, Erased will inform, inspire, and leave readers ready to engage in meaningful conversations about America’s past and its impact on today.
