Thanks to a donation by Seven Stories Press, we can offer 100 individual copies to public school teachers and teacher educators of the new edition of A Different Mirror for Young People: A History of Multicultural America by Ronald Takaki.
The publisher, Seven Stories Press, notes about this new edition:
With a new chapter and revisions throughout, University of Illinois professor A. Naomi Paik brings this “brilliant revisionist history” (Publishers Weekly) into the 21st century. The new material examines growing inequality in the U.S., the intensifying War on Terror that further targets and marginalizes immigrants, and, in the uplifting spirit of the original book, the emergence of social movements including land and water protections and migrant justice movements.
Drawing on Takaki’s vast array of primary sources, and staying true to his own words whenever possible, A Different Mirror for Young People brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems.
To receive a copy, describe in detail any lesson you have used from the Zinn Education Project website.
The list will not be shared nor sold, other than with Seven Stories Press for mailing. The books will be shipped directly from the publisher to any address in the United States.
