Blacks and Hispanics in High School Economics Texts.
Ellington, Lucien
Social Education, v50 n1 p64-67 Jan 1986
An analysis of 12 secondary economics textbooks revealed that the economic issues of poverty, unemployment, and labor as they relate to Blacks and Hispanics are often ignored. Economics texts would be greatly improved if critical work led to the inclusion of even such rudimentary information as race-specific employment data. (RM)
