Tony, Taylor; Guyver, Robert, ed. History Wars and the Classroom: Global Perspectives. Information Age Publishing, 2011.

== Summary ==
This
collection of essays examines the “History Wars” in different national contexts
(six). These constitute the “politicized controversies that frequently surround
societal imaginings and depictions of national, cultural, racial, ethnic,
tribal and religious pasts.” (xii) At the core of these essays is an
examination of the tensions that have played out between political intent and
educational practice in history education, exposing a range of problems, each
tied to specific national circumstances such as history textbooks in Japan,
students’ Holocaust overload in Germany, and curriculum on Maori-Pakeha
relations in New Zealand. At the same time, there is some commonality across
national spaces, including tensions between the history discipline and social
studies, political influence, and how history should be taught (national vs.
process vs. multi-perspective).
