Social Studies Education and Everyday Empire

Social Studies Education and Everyday Empire exposes the ways in which U.S. settler colonial ideology is manifested through social studies curriculum and textbooks through the misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples. In each chapter, the author addresses one of the stereotypical and racist tropes which are deeply ingrained in U.S. social studies education, reveals its implications for Indigenous land practices and sovereignty, and offers pedagogical ideas and practices to begin to undo the misconceptions. Finally, Calderon considers the ways in which new pedagogies can influence education theory, policy, and practices to counteract ignorance regarding the Indigenous peoples of the U.S.
