Summary

The "mysterious" world of Caucasian Americans comes alive through history lessons, puzzles, and word games for all ages in this humorous parody. Presented as a scholastic style educational workbook, it illuminates the history of Caucasian Americans in the United States from a Native American perspective. Chapters with such names as "Caucasian American Languages," "Caucasian American Food Production," and "Caucasian American Religions, Ceremonies, and Superstitions," subversively and playfully critique the role Caucasian Americans have played in shaping the United States. Including delightful illustrations, word scrambles, and other fun exercises, this hilarious lampoon adeptly teaches progressive values through humor.
