In troubled societies narratives about the past tend to be partial
and explain a conflict from narrow perspectives that justify the
national self and condemn, exclude and devalue the 'enemy' and
their narrative. Through a detailed analysis, Teaching Contested
Narratives reveals the works of identity, historical narratives and
memory as these are enacted in classroom dialogues, canonical texts
and school ceremonies. Presenting ethnographic data from local
contexts in Cyprus and Israel, and demonstrating the relevance to
educational settings in countries which suffer from conflicts all
over the world, the authors explore the challenges of teaching
narratives about the past in such societies, discuss how historical
trauma and suffering are dealt with in the context of teaching, and
highlight the potential of pedagogical interventions for
reconciliation. The book shows how the notions of identity, memory
and reconciliation can perpetuate or challenge attachments to
essentialized ideas about peace and conflict.
