This book presents a survey of approaches to dealing with 'rival
histories' in the classroom, arguing that approaching this problem
requires great sensitivity to differing national, educational and
narrative contexts. Contested narratives and disputed histories
have long been an important issue in history-teaching all over the
world, and have even been described as the 'history' or 'culture'
wars. In this book, authors from across the globe ponder the
question "what can teachers do (and what are they doing) to address
conflicting narratives of the same past?", and puts an
epistemological issue at the heart of the discussion: what does it
mean for the epistemology of history, if it is possible to teach
more than one narrative? Divided into three sections that deal with
historical cultures, multicultural societies and
multiperspectivity, the chapters of the book showcase that dealing
with rival histories is very much dependent on context, and that
diverse teaching traditions and societal debates mean that
teachers' abilities in engaging with the teaching of rival
narratives are very different. The volume will be compelling
reading for students and researchers in the fields of education,
history, sociology and philosophy, as well as practising teachers.
