I received your email regarding famous Flemish people in American textbooks. I teach American history so I would have to say that they are not in there at all. However, at Hawken School, we do have World History I and World History II courses. The second one, World History II, is basically European history from the Renaissance to the present day. Almost every major world history textbook here in America does cover the artists Van Eyck and Rubens and others.
