he Palgrave Handbook of Conflict and History Education in the Post-Cold War Era “History textbook expert Terence Leonard once lamented that if only Foreign Offices would read the history textbooks of other countries they could save all the money they spend on agents’ reports about public opinion abroad. As this unprecedented guide finally brings together dozens of recent history education conflicts around the globe, one would hope that diplomats and their masters will take this golden opportunity and act smarter than they did in Leonard’s time. This Handbook’s advice is threefold: watch the tribulations of history education, peer into a country’s soul in the process, and, most of all, handle that knowledge responsibly.” —Antoon De Baets, Professor of History, Ethics and Human Rights, University of Groningen, the Netherlands “From “Argentina” to “Zimbabwe”, Cajani, Lässig and Repoussi have assembled a collection of fifty-seven accounts of conflict over history education since 1989, arrayed in alphabetical order by country. This encyclopaedic project is an invitation to international, comparative theory building, with the raw materials provided largely by locally grounded participant-observers in the history education conflicts. The editors provide a stimulating introduction to open up the comparative possibilities: who are the main actors and how do they exercise power? What are their key forms, forums and strategies? How do war, decolonisation, the fall of dictators and the rise of nationalist populism shake up assumptions about the teaching of the past? What is internationally shared and what is nationally distinctive? The Palgrave Handbook of Conflict and History Education will be an indispensable tool for researchers examining these questions in the coming years.” —Peter Seixas, Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia, Canada
