- Summary:
-
This booklet presents a set of secondary level classroom strategies for examining American history in light of the issues identified by the American Issues Forum. Emphasis is on the composite nature of American society, based on assimilation of American Indians, European and Chinese immigrants, and African slaves. A section on Indian-white relationships includes drawings about conquests and treaties made by Spanish and colonial Americans, a description from an 1868 edition of Harper's Weekly about Indian prisoners taken by Custer, recommended readings, and a list of words which illustrate Indian contributions to English language and culture. Sections on European and Chinese immigrants focus on motivations for immigration, native opposition to newcomers, and restrictive legislation. Drawings from magazines illustrate European families awaiting deportation, and Chinese merchants being harrassed by American legal restrictions. Readings portray the frustrations of immigration inspection on Ellis Island and political debates about allowing Chinese laborers into the country. Also recommended are techniques for analyzing social difficulties experienced by freed black slaves. All the materials are in field-test condition. (AV)
