Biographical Note: Ann Bausum was raised in Virginia, surrounded by the symbols and teachings of the Lost Cause. For the past Brief Description: "This powerful and unflinching examination of racism in America by award-winning historian Ann Bausum deconstructs the warped history of the Civil War for teen readers, perfect for fans of STAMPED and JUST MERCY"-- Review Quotes: Seven starred reviews ★ "An important and compelling work that belongs in all high school and public libraries." -- School Library Journal, starred review ★ "A...powerful offering that encourages readers to critically engage with historical record and to use the knowledge they obtain to better the world." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ "An essential volume to understand the history of racial division in the U.S." -- Booklist, starred review ★ "Bausum's short chapters and clear language help teen readers understand complex subjects and make connections between lies that started in the mid- to late nineteenth century and societal ills that still plague the United States today." -- Horn Book Magazine, starred review Publisher Marketing: This powerful and unflinching examination of racism in America by award-winning historian Ann Bausum deconstructs the warped history of the Civil War, perfect for fans of STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING and JUST MERCY. Warning: This is not your average U.S. history book. After the Civil War, the Confederates may have laid down their arms, but they were far from accepting defeat. By warping the narrative around what really happened during and after the Civil War, they created an alternate history now known as the Lost Cause. These lies still manifest today through criticism of Critical Race Theory, book banning, unequal funding for education, and more. This book sets the record straight and explains the true history of the Civil War, and its complex and far-reaching aftermath. Written by historian and award-winning author Ann Bausum, WHITE LIES is an impeccably researched chronicle filled with photos, robust back matter, additional resources, and more that fans of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States will enjoy.Review Citations:
