More about the book

Woodson's concept of "Mis-Education" emphasizes the education system's failure to accurately represent Negro history, leading to a lack of authentic literature in schools. He critiques history books for marginalizing Black contributions and presenting them in subservient roles, often depicting their past in a derogatory manner. This misrepresentation perpetuates a narrative that diminishes the skills and potential of Black individuals, resulting in a detrimental acceptance of inferiority among the Negro population. Woodson views this situation as a significant American tragedy.
