Georgia history textbooks are used in the state's public school systems to educate eighth-grade students about Georgia's diverse past, cultures, and peoples. These textbooks also discuss current political, economic, and social events (in Georgia and the United States) and seek to illustrate the organization and duties of local, state, and federal governmental systems. The two textbooks that have been approved by the Georgia Board of Education for use in the public schools are The Georgia Studies Book: Our State and the Nation, by Edwin L. Jackson et al. (published by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at the University of Georgia) and Georgia: The History of an American State, by Bonita Bullard London (published by Clairmont Press).text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Georgia--History--TextbooksGeorgia--Politics and government--TextbooksGeorgia history textbooksText
