I don't have Wertsch's article in my files, but an abstract is at http://wcx.sagepub.com/content/16/3/267.abstract?ijkey=87e54f9ceb1107bcdd510cc14694f29f6e9e0460&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha

I'm also attaching something that Loewen must have sent me, which is a sample from a new book on teaching history. p

Is Jim's writing in an article that we can access? They *have *been busy--writing about the Czars, the West, and themselves again. How very interesting.

James Loewen, Lies my Teacher Told Me

Can anyone recommend a good book or article for a student on the way
the teaching of history in schools is being, or has been, shaped by
