Once again; in this expanded Second Edition; Gary Howard outlines what good teachers know; what they do; and how they embrace culturally responsive teaching. Howard brings his bestselling book completely up to date with today’s school reform efforts and includes a new introduction and a new chapter that speak directly to current issues such as closing the achievement gap; and to recent legislation such as No Child Left Behind. With our nation’s student population becoming ever more diverse; and teachers remaining largely White; this book is now more important than ever. A must-read in universities and school systems throughout the country; We Can’t Teach What We Don’t Know continues to facilitate and deepen the discussion of race and social justice in education.

Sherman's 1864 march through Georgia to Savannah and the 1865 campaign through the Carolinas. Most cover the military aspects. This Marching With Sherman is different. Instead of rehashing the military features Dunkelman draws from regimental histories plus the letters; diaries and memoirs of members of the 154th New York. Southern accounts; especially those of civilians; are emphasized. Where myths and legends contradict the reality it is pointed out. The observations of postwar travelers are included as well. Of particular interest is the repetition of the same myths and legends....which to some have become fact: "Sherman spared this house/town/barn/horse because the owner was a Mason/a former girlfriend/was pretty." There are also oft repeated instances of the lone good man amongst the hoards of evil thieves; arsonists and ruffians. Dunkelman frequently points out the fallacies of still repeated legends. It is a truly fascinating look at the March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign filled with personal observations of participants on both sides and historical fact. Historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's statement "history isn't just what happens in the past. It is what later generations make of it" applies to the legacy of Sherman. I highly recommend Marching With Sherman to anyone interested in an objective look at Sherman in the South.Hugh T.

If you want to read about the Civil War; especially about the 154th Infantry out of Jamestown; NY; check him out! The Hardtack Regiment; War's Relentless Hand; Gettysburg's Unknown Soldier; Brothers One and All; as well as Marching with Sherman are some book you should read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
