Alridge
Jan 16, 2007, 17:01:00 Derrick Alridge, associate professor in the department of lifelong education, administration, and policy, argues that discrete, heroic, one-dimensional and neatly packaged master narratives in most American history textbooks on Martin Luther King, Jr., present prescribed, oversimplified and uncontroversial narratives that obscure important elements in MLK's life and thought in the Jan. 16, 2007 lead article of the TC Record, a journal of educational research, analysis and commentary published by Teachers College, Columbia University. Such narratives, he contends, deny students critical lenses through which to examine, analyze and interpret social issues today. The article concludes with suggestions about how teachers might begin to address the current problem of master narratives and offer alternative approaches to presenting U.S. history.
