The Representation of People of Color in Undergraduate General Chemistry Textbooks
King, Denise; Domin, Daniel S.
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n2 p342-345 Feb 2007
The presence of cultural basis within undergraduate general chemistry textbooks is examined by assessing the extent to and manner in which people of color are represented in textbook photographs. It is proposed that the images that students look upon in the textbooks help in their perceptions of chemistry as a whole.
