Education and Historical Justice

<b><i>Education and Historical Justice</i>explores how global movements for historical redress and reconciliation are reshaping education and schooling.</b><br/><br/> This book is the first to theorize the important and growing nexus between education and historical justice engaging questions of temporality narrativity and responsibility. It considers how educational policy curriculum pedagogy and materials are being reformed to address goals of historical justice redress and reparations globally with a focus on Australia Canada Northern Ireland and South Africa. It places these changes and challenges in historical context drawing on international human rights law political and historical theory and histories of education to account for the growing role of education in the pursuit of historical justice. Finally it assesses how education oriented towards historical justice reconfigures subjectivities and raises questions around complicity guilt and collective responsibility which have important implications for educators researchers and policymakers.
