This volume comprises a broad interdisciplinary examination of the
many different approaches by which contemporary scholars record our
history. The editors provide a comprehensive overview through
thirty-eight chapters divided into four parts: a) Historical
Culture and Public Uses of History; b) The Appeal of the Nation in
History Education of Postcolonial Societies; c) Reflections on
History Learning and Teaching; d) Educational Resources: Curricula,
Textbooks and New Media. This unique text integrates contributions
of researchers from history, education, collective memory, museum
studies, heritage, social and cognitive psychology, and other
social sciences, stimulating an interdisciplinary dialogue.
Contributors come from various countries of Northern and Southern
America, Europe and Asia, providing an international perspective
that does justice to the complexity of this field of study. The
Palgrave Handbook of Research in Historical Culture and Education
provides state-of-the-art research, focussing on how citizens and
societies make sense of the past through different ways of
representing it.
In 1898, the year Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was
inaugurated, five hundred women organized an enormous public
exhibition showcasing women's contributions to Dutch society as
workers in a strikingly broad array of professions. The National
Exhibition of Women's Labor, held in The Hague, was attended by
more than ninety thousand visitors. Maria Grever and Berteke
Waaldijk consider the exhibition in the international contexts of
women's history, visual culture, and imperialism. A comprehensive
social history, Transforming the Public Sphere describes the
planning and construction of the Exhibition of Women's Labor and
the event itself-the sights, the sounds, and the smells-as well as
the role of exhibitions in late-nineteenth-century public culture.
The authors discuss how the 1898 exhibition displayed the range and
variety of women's economic, intellectual, and artistic roles in
Dutch culture, including their participation in such traditionally
male professions as engineering, diamond-cutting, and printing and
publishing. They examine how people and goods from the Dutch
colonies were represented, most notably in an extensive open-air
replica of a "Javanese village." Grever and Waaldijk reveal the
tensions the exhibition highlighted: between women of different
economic classes; between the goal of equal rights for women and
the display of imperial subjects and spoils; and between socialists
and feminists, who competed fiercely with one another for working
women's support. Transforming the Public Sphere explores an event
that served as the dress rehearsal for advances in women's public
participation during the twentieth century.
Heritage, as an area of research and learning, often deals with
difficult historical questions, due to the strong emotions and
political commitments that are often at stake. In this, it poses
particular challenges for teachers, museum educators and the
publics they serve. Guided by a shared focus on these "sensitive
pasts," the contributors to this volume draw on new theoretical and
empirical research to provide valuable insights into heritage
pedagogy. Together they demonstrate the potential of heritage as a
historical-educational domain that transcends myopic patriotism,
parochialism and simplistic relativism, helping to enhance critical
and sophisticated historical thinking.
