In his explosive new book The 1619 Project Myth, acclaimed historian and economist Phillip W. Magness pulls no punches. A leading critic of the 1619 Project since its inception, Magness delivers a devastating, point-by-point rebuttal to the historical distortions and ideological agenda behind one of the most controversial journalism projects in recent memory.
Through rigorous scholarship and cool-headed analysis, Magness debunks the myths and corrects the record. He takes readers behind the headlines to expose:
how the 1619 Project twisted historical facts for political gain
why capitalism is not the enemy—but a force that helped end slavery
how the project’s defenders silence critics instead of engaging them
and why real scholarship demands more than clickbait and ideology
This is more than a rebuttal. It’s a call to intellectual honesty.
Don’t miss out on Magness’ stunning defense of history as a discipline grounded in truth, not politics!
