The author, who teaches American history uses topics in this book to provide his own soapbox. How does one go from a chapter about the strikes in 1919 to the hazards of global warming? And this is what our children are being taught? This is abysmal. No wonder children are challenged to understand history, let alone appreciate it. ( ) From the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to race riots, labor protests, and the Communist scare, the year 1919 has become known as a transformative year in American history. Read the recently published children's book on this topic, then learn more at the website: 1919: THE YEAR THAT CHANGED AMERICA by Martin W. Sander explores six transformative events that have had a lasting impact on American history. This engaging work of nonfiction features photographs, primary source documents, and short narratives. Wikipedia’s “year” pages provide a useful quick-reference for the key events of each year. In addition each year page contains births, deaths, Nobel prizes, and other useful information to jumpstart an investigation of a particular year such as 1919. 1919 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1919 ARC courtesy of Bloomsbury Children. The author lays out significant events that happened in 1919 that would have a lasting impact on the history that came after. For example, the Red Scare would lead to the Cold War; labor strikes brought about the power of labor unions; suffrage and temperance gave women more voice and power; and the "Red Summer" was precursor to the civil rights movement. Readers may regard the year as dinosaur-ancient, but thoughtful youths will appreciate the connections to current issues. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"Some of the most important issues of our time were no less important 100 years ago. America in 1919, at the close of World War I, was shaken from the events of large-scale warfare, fearing a Communist takeover, and facing an incredible amount of social and political change. From Prohibition to women's suffrage, the labor strikes to the violence of the Red Summer and the Red Scare, this book explores each major movement of 1919. Showing how these events were interrelated and examining their continued relevance to our country a century later, Martin Sandler offers a unique historical perspective on the trajectory of the major movements of the 20th century. Showing readers how every current event has unique and fascinating history preceding it, this book will help them better understand the world they live in and the change many still seek today, offering educators a framework for discussing historical perspective and progress"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
