Considering the great influence textbooks have as interpreters of
history, politics and culture to future generations of citizens, it
is no surprise that they generate considerable controversy.
Focusing largely on textbook treatment of lingering - and sometimes
explosive - tensions originating in World War II, "Censoring
History" addresses issues of textbook nationalism in historical and
comparative perspective. Discussions include Japan's Comfort Women
and the Nanjing Massacre; Nazi genocide against the Jews, Gypsies,
Catholics and others; Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Indochina
wars. The essays address controversies over textbook content around
the globe: How and why do specific representations of war evolve?
What are the international and national forces affecting how
textbook writers, publishers and state censors depict the past? How
do these forces differ from country to country? Other comparative
essays analyze nationalist and war controversies in German, US and
Chinese textbook debates.
