Reckoning with the Past

Teaching History in Northern Ireland

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores how history teaching can support conflict reduction in deeply divided societies. Using Northern Ireland as its case study, the work contributes to how people think about the identity-based conflict that surrounds them and involves them. It also acts as a manual for those who wish to undertake projects to change attitudes about history in post-conflict societies.
