商品簡介
For history teaching and textbooks scholars, Helgason (history and history education, U. of Iceland) and Lässig (modern and contemporary history, Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, U. of Braunschweig, Germany) bring together 12 articles that examine history textbooks in Scandinavia, to illustrate the development of international textbook research and contributions from Northern European countries. Scholars from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, who work in anthropology, history, education, and text science, address questions about traditional processes of textbook analysis, such as construction of the Self and Other, stereotypes, and deconstructions of the Eurocentric perspective through content and discourse analysis; the reception and use of history textbooks by Scandinavian teachers; and international and interdisciplinary collaboration in recent research.
