Item 'Transition' and the politics of history education in Southeast Europe(Göttingen: V&R unipress, 2009) Dimou, Augusta (ed.)This volume, edited by Augusta Dimou, offers an overview over the developments in the area of history education in the erstwhile states of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Moldavia from the middle of the 1990's until today. Basis of all contributions is the process of bulding nations with its influence on history politics and school, within the framework of an encouraging, and yet contradictory, tranformation process. Additionally, the roles internationally active education figures and institutes play in the region is examined. Under which circumstances and with what means can reforms and interventions succeed long term in the area of education? In which direction are historical narratives moving? This volume's contributions seek to answer these, and other, questions. They give an insight into the complex tranformations in South East Europe's education sector from an interdisciplinary perspective.Item Combating Islamophobia through history teaching(Georg-Eckert-Institut. Leibniz-Institut für Internationale Schulbuchforschung, 2013-04-17) Vella, YosanneIslamaphobia has long been a phenomenon in Malta due to the island’s strong Catholic culture and long history of conflict, with Muslim Arabs or Turks frequently regarded as “the enemy”. Today with the appearance of irregular immigrants from Africa who started arriving in Malta after 2000, the local population is now faced with a new situation, that is, with the presence of a small but growing Muslim community on the island. This paper details an attempt to use history teaching as a possible tool to combat prejudice and onesided images of “the other” within the Maltese context using a topic from the Maltese history National Curriculum, that of the Great Siege of Malta in 1565.
