自1995年首次出版以来，Lies My Teacher Told Me 已荣获美国图书奖（American Book Award）和奥利弗·克伦威尔·考克斯反种族主义学术奖（Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Distinguished Anti-Racist Scholarship），并在各版本中累计售出逾五十万册。这部最初对美国十二本主流历史教科书的调查，最终演变成《旧金山纪事报》所称的“一次对教育求真的极具说服力的呼吁”。在 Lies My Teacher Told Me 中，James W. Loewen 展现了历史全部的复杂性与多面性，让其跃然纸上。本书始于前哥伦布时期的历史，贯穿形形色色的人物与

……脸谱化的讽刺形象，我们忘记了如果能看到全貌，我们现代的“恶人”可能看起来并没有太大不同（无论好坏！）[1] 我记得洛温在他那本极好的书《老师谎报的美国史》（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies_My_Teacher_Told_Me）中讨论过这个。[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller#Political_activiti... [2] 当然，这前提是你不同意社会主义政治主张……
…caricatures, and we forget that, were we to see the complete picture, our modern-day "villains" may not look so different (for better or for worse!) [1] I believe Loewen talks about this in his excellent book Lies My Teacher Told Me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies_My_Teacher_Told_Me) [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller#Political_activiti... [2] Naturally, this presumes that you either disagree with socialist politics…

要是一本通俗易懂的读物，能介绍那些高中教科书上被微妙略过的美国历史片段，那就是洛温的《老师谎报的美国史》了。它不仅包括劳工史的入门，还有民权史、美洲印第安人灭绝战争史，当然还有 20 世纪那段“迷人”的美国帝国主义历史。（不是……
A readable introduction to the bits of US history that high-school textbooks delicately gloss over is Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me. Includes not only an intro to labor history, but also to civil rights history, and American Indian war-of-extermination history, and of course the charming US imperial history of the 20th century. (Not…

居然没提到詹姆斯·洛温的《老师谎报的美国史》，这本书填补了他们提到的津恩叙事中的一些空白，里面塞满了脚注和一手史料，特意去指出了各种替代性解释以及背后的逻辑推导……
No mention of James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me," which fills in some of the blanks they mention in Zinn's narrative, overflowing with both footnotes and primary sources, going out of its way to point out alternate explanations and the reasoning behind…
“许多”（many）这个词让我觉得这纯粹是作者毫无根据的主观臆断，就算拿出证据充其量也是诉诸大众（ad populum）。我最近读了 J·洛温写的《老师谎报的美国史》[1]，刚好就讲到了这个，也就是把美国领袖“英雄化”。我毫不怀疑全美 K-12 教育普遍教的就是这些。[1] http://www.amazon.com/Lies-My-Teacher-Told-Everything/dp/074...
The word "many" leads me to believe that this is the author's opinion without substance, and even with evidence at best ad populum. I recently read "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by J. Loewen [1], and it hits on just this, being the "heroification" of American leaders. I wouldn't doubt that this is what was the popular teaching in K-12 US.
