Reviews

Mario Carretero, Professor of Psychology, Autonoma University, Madrid:
This excellent book contains outstanding contributions on history education, relating not only to Canadian issues but also to educational debates taking place in different continents. Its chapters are without doubt insightful tools for developing a reflective point of view about the role of historical contents in our increasingly globalized and multicultural societies.

Steven High, Canada Research Chair in Public History, Concordia University:
In shifting the discussion from "what" kinds of history should be taught in our schools to "how" history should be taught, this pathbreaking book takes us beyond the stale debates of the 1990s. It is, in itself, an important milestone in the development of the field of history education in Canada.
