    Combating Islamophobia through history teaching
    (Georg-Eckert-Institut. Leibniz-Institut für Internationale Schulbuchforschung, 2013-04-17) Vella, Yosanne
    Islamaphobia 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.

    From the Coming of the Knights to EU Membership is a new Maltese history textbook for 13 to 15-year olds choosing history as their special option subject in secondary school. This textbook was edited and part-authored by the author of this paper and published by the Maltese History Teachers’ Association in October 2008. This textbook covers the main historical events that are proposed in the state secondary level history curriculum for history special option groups, referred to in Malta as the SEC Syllabus. The first school leaving national examination based on this curriculum was held in May 2009.
