Critical examinations of cultural groups and the ways in which they are presented in schools are missing from current elementary and middle school curricula. Issues of this nature often fall under the umbrella of "multicultural education" or "cultural pedagogy," but this rhetoric is dismissive in nature. Constructing the non-Western child as "culturally deprived," "culturally disadvantaged," or "at-risk" perpetuates an "us/colonizer" versus "them/colonized" mentality. The purpose of this study was to examine critically how the Middle East and its people are represented in U.S. social studies textbooks. Through the use of qualitative content analysis, 10 elementary and middle school social studies books from Florida, Texas, and Virginia were analyzed. Drawing largely from the postcolonial Orientalist work of Edward Said (1978/2003), this study unveiled the ways in which American public schools other children, specifically children of Middle Eastern or Arab descent.
