    Teaching the Nation: Recontextualized National Identity in Sri Lankan English Language Textbooks
    (2016-12-10) Tilakaratna, Namala;
    This study uses the discourse-analytical framework of iconography to explore how national identity is created in pedagogical texts. The paper presents a detailed analysis of a single text from the Year 11 Sri Lankan English language textbook produced by the National Institute of Education. In so doing, it will show how the application of a rigorous analytical framework, with reference to sociopolitical and historical research, can uncover the means by which texts perpetuate particular understandings of national identity. The text explored in this study generates a concept of Sri Lankan national identity on the basis of the majoritarian ethno-religious Sinhala Buddhist identity, with little acknowledgement of the ethnic and religious diversity that characterises Sri Lanka.

    History Can Bite. History Education in Divided and Postwar Societies
    (Göttingen: V&R unipress, 2016-10-26) Bentrovato, Denise; Korostelina, Karina V.; Schulze, Martina
    The volume provides critical insights into approaches adopted by curricula, textbooks and teachers around the world when teaching about the past in the wake of civil war and mass violence, discerning some of the key challenges and opportunities involved in such endeavors. The contributors discuss ways in which history teaching has acted as a political tool that has, at times, been guilty of exacerbating inter-group conflicts. It also highlights history teaching as an important component of reconciliation attempts, showcasing examples of curricular reform and textbook revision after conflict, and discussing how the contestations and difficulties surrounding such processes were addressed in different post-conflict societies.

    Writing Syrian History while Propagating Arab Nationalism. Textbooks about Modern Arab History under Hafiz and Bashar al-Asad
    (New York: Berghahn, 2014-06-06) Bolliger, Monika
    This article argues that Syrian history textbooks promote the formation of Syrian national identity although their explicit objective is to propagate Arab nationalism. The authors’ attempt to construct the history of an imagined Arab nation encompassing the whole of the Arab world in fact tells the story of different nation-states. Syrian students are therefore confronted with rival geographical spheres of national imagination. Changes in the new textbooks under Bashar al-Asad1 reveal increased Syrian patriotism, a will to comply with globalization, and attempts to maintain Arab nationalism.
