History texts studied by students in schools are an important field
for drawing boundaries between nations, beliefs, ethnic groups and
countries, sometimes causing disputes and protests. Even in the
democratic and peaceful Nordic countries, history texts carry a
message of authorized content knowledge and situated values. At the
same time, they are meant to foster the critical mind, a skillfull
eye and a tolerant spirit. In this volume, scholars from Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden explore the question of Us and
the Others in Nordic textbooks and educational media and focus on
teachers' opinions and use of history texts, partly based on a
survey among Nordic history teachers in elementary and secondary
schools. The questions dealt with are of national identity and
multiculturalism, sameness and difference, content and pedagogy,
skills and values, goals of history education and teachers'
situations. The scholars and teachers compare the educational and
societal aims with the actual teaching materials at hand. The
potentialities and limitations of textbooks and other educational
media are investigated and discussed.
