Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism
by Eve L. Ewing
Description
In this incisive work of history and social criticism, Eve L. Ewing examines how American education has been shaped by the forced schooling, exclusion, and miseducation of Black and Native children. Tracing the intertwined legacies of colonialism, slavery, segregation, and institutional power, she reveals how schools helped construct and perpetuate American racism. At once deeply researched and vividly written, the book challenges readers to reconsider the origins of educational inequality—and what genuine transformation might require.
