Joseph Moreau. Schoolbook Nation: Conflicts over American History Textbooks from the Civil War to the Present. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press. 2004. Pp. 403. $35.00.

When it comes to American history, Joseph Moreau's book shows that writing it has never been left solely to the historians. Moreau analyzes more than one hundred school textbooks in American history published between 1824 and the end of the twentieth century. These works were chosen for examination because they best represented the controversies of their times and were not necessarily the most popular or widely adopted texts. But they illustrate the social and political debates over the character of what children and young adults should read about history. Moreau uses these schoolbooks to discuss the conflicts and the dominant controversies of each era and "how these battles have shaped the texts themselves" (p. 16).
