Infos

This edited volume explores the evolution of history education from a transnational perspective, focusing on border regions in Europe that are considered on the 'periphery' of the Nation-State. By introducing this concept and taking into consideration the dynamics of decentralization and the development of minorities' teaching practices and narratives, the book sheds light on new challenges for history education policy and curriculum design. Chapters take a comparative approach,  dissecting and analyzing specific case studies from school systems in France, Germany, Italy, the UK, and Scandinavian countries.  In doing so, the editors and their authors weave a systematic account of the impact of local autonomy on educational culture, on the civic remit of schools, and on the narratives embodied by history school canons. 

Andrea Di Michele is Associater Professor at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. 

Piero S. Colla is Adjunct Professor of North European Political Models at Strasbourg University, France.
