So very sad to hear about James Loewen‘s passing. His work was so powerful for me as a young teacher–uncovering all the “lies my teachers told me” (Loewen, 1995) including that Helen Keller was a radical socialist and about textbooks as a means for realizing hegemony.
Saddened to hear about the passing of James Loewen. He was a valuable advisor on several of my @amhistorymuseum projects, and was a passionate advocate for teaching history in a way that empowered students and leaned into complexity.
We have the sad duty to report the passing of James W. Loewen, the author of multiple books on the distortion of history in the public sphere, and a longtime HNN contributor. We extend our condolences to his family and to those whose lives he touched.
