Though the percentage of Latino students is on the rise in the U.S., high school textbooks used across the country largely ignore Latino history, a new study has found.
More inclusion in textbooks won't benefit just Latino students, argues Viviana López Green, senior director of the Racial Equity Initiative at UnidosUS.
According to the researchers, that includes learning more about the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War, the U.S. acquisition of Puerto Rico, the Panama Canal, the modern civil rights movement, Cold War politics and legal developments shaping the Latino experience, such as the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, and racial segregation.
The researchers made their determination after analyzing five high school U.S. history textbooks and one AP U.S. history book. The study did not include the names of the textbooks. To pick the textbooks, the research team looked at textbooks used in five states with the largest Latino student populations, along with two states with small Latino populations. Researchers contacted publishers about sales in each state, but they did not hear back, so they contacted the relevant state education agencies instead to pick which textbooks they'd study.
