This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book
explores how the socially disputed period of the Cold War is
remembered in today's history classroom. Applying a diverse set of
methodological strategies, the authors map the dividing lines in
and between memory cultures across the globe, paying special
attention to the impact the crisis-driven age of our present has on
images of the past. Authors analysing educational media point to
ambivalence, vagueness and contradictions in textbook narratives
understood to be echoes of societal and academic controversies.
Others focus on teachers and the history classroom, showing how
unresolved political issues create tensions in history education.
They render visible how teachers struggle to handle these
challenges by pretending that what they do is 'just history'. The
contributions to this book unveil how teachers, backgrounding the
political inherent in all memory practices, often nourish the
illusion that the history in which they are engaged is all about
addressing the past with a reflexive and disciplined approach.
