Education and Historical Justice - Redress, Reparations and Reconciliation in the Classroom

Education and Historical Justice explores how global movements for historical redress and reconciliation are reshaping education and schooling. This book is the first to theorize and name the important and growing nexus between education and historical justice: historical justice education. 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, Sweden, and the USA. 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.>
