#046 – Am I Right?
from What We Will Abide
In just a few short weeks the Stone Independent School will embark on our inaugural academic year. Two of the classes are my own creations: United States History through the lens of the economics of slavery; and the history of Israel/Palestine. I’m sharing my process for building these classes here as a means of documenting their development and ultimately charting their progress. Will I wind up doing what I set out to do? Is what I’m setting out to do well-conceived or utterly misguided? Is it too narrowly drawn? Does it skew matters without the proper proportion of self-awareness and humility? These are a few of the pitfalls I’m afraid of. A few links of note: Deborah Miranda, Bad Indian Edward Baptist, The Half Has Never Been Told David Stannard, American Holocaust Pascal Robert on Dead Pundits Society Steve Sheinkin, History Writer (Hear a great interview with him on Erica Heilman's terrific podcast Rumble Strip) Norman Finkelstein on the 1967 War here; and also here. Rashid Khalidi, Palestinian Identity Moshe Dayan on the 1967 war
