This Handbook provides a systematic and analytical approach to the
various dimensions of international, ethnic and domestic conflict
over the uses of national history in education since the end of the
Cold War. With an upsurge in political, social and cultural
upheaval, particularly since the fall of state socialism in Europe,
the importance of history textbooks and curricula as tools for
influencing the outlooks of entire generations is thrown into sharp
relief. Using case studies from 58 countries, this book explores
how history education has had the potential to shape political
allegiances and collective identities. The contributors highlight
the key issues over which conflict has emerged - including the
legacies of socialism and communism, war, dictatorships and
genocide - issues which frequently point to tensions between
adhering to and challenging the idea of a cohesive national
identity and historical narrative. Global in scope, the Handbook
will appeal to a diverse academic audience, including historians,
political scientists, educationists, psychologists, sociologists
and scholars working in the field of cultural and media studies.
