I’m very pleased to find a starred review for my adaptation of Lies My Teacher Told Me at Publishers Weekly— it’ll be out April 16th from The New Press!
“Powell’s characteristically fluid art lends new depth to revisited figures including Helen Keller, known by most Americans solely for her disabilities and not for her radical activism, and abolitionist John Brown, condemned by U.S. history books as a mentally disturbed violent extremist rather than a dedicated social progressive. Long a favorite of radical educators, Loewen’s original text receives the vital and accessible adaptation it deserves.”
