On today’s show, we’re in conversation with Eve L Ewing about her latest book, Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism.
FUND DRIVE SPECIAL – Pledge $170 and receive Eve L Ewing’s new book, Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of AmericanRacism. In Original Sins, Eve L Ewing demonstrates that our schools were designed to propagate the idea of white intellectual superiority, to “civilize” Native students and to prepare Black students for menial labor. This text argues that these dynamics are maintained through classroom systems designed to build a racialized system of incarceration, a racialized labor force, and to perpetuate the normalization of white and christian values as “American” norms. Many of these systems fall below the radar in the forms of standardized testing, academic tracking, disciplinary policies, and uneven access to resources.
