Abstrakt: "Teaching the New Deal: 1932-1941 - Review and Analysis" is a book review that discusses a volume in the Teaching Critical Themes in American History series. The volume focuses on the New Deal era and explores four themes: civil rights, public recollections, the relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and the experiences of marginalized populations. The review praises the volume's inquiry-based pedagogy and its goal of promoting critical thinking and analysis among students. The book specifically examines the lives of marginalized groups, such as American Indian tribes and LGBTQIA+ individuals, during the New Deal era, highlighting the benefits and limitations of New Deal programs for these groups. It also provides resources and lesson plans for educators to teach these topics in a culturally responsive manner. Despite some critiques, the book is seen as a valuable tool for promoting anti-bias education and fostering a new generation of learners. [Extracted from the article]
