The Brookes Effect
A NOVEL
The Brookes Effect chronicles a high school history teacher’s controversial quest to teach the pre-American Civil War Trans-Atlantic African slave trade with the same historical scrutiny as other well-known atrocities, such as the Jewish holocaust.
When James Hiers decides to teach his students about the Trans-Atlantic African slave trade, he knows it will be a controversial topic, using his methods. Still, he is determined to give his students an accurate picture of this dark chapter in history.
Hiers’ approach is met with resistance from some parents and community members, who believe that his approach is too radical. Undeterred, he thinks it is essential for students to understand the full impact of the slave trade, including its origins, and he is determined to give them the tools they need to think critically about this issue.
As Hiers’ teaching methods become more and more controversial, he finds himself at the center of a media firestorm, but he refuses to back down. He knows the truth is worth fighting for, even if it means putting his career on the line.
Will Hiers be able to teach his students about the Trans-Atlantic slave trade without sacrificing his principles? Or will he be forced to abandon his quest in the face of overwhelming opposition?
Find out in The Brookes Effect, a gripping novel about the power of history and the importance of teaching the truth, no matter how difficult it may be.
