Abstract
ABSTRACT The connection between history teaching and the formation of national identity is an important issue in a rapidly changing Europe. Recent interventions by senior government advisers on education in the United Kingdom on this subject emphasise its importance. By examining discourses of cultural restorationism in England and Wales, this paper considers their implications for the construction of ‘English’ and ‘Welsh’ identities in the future. It suggests that attempts to define certain forms of collective identity through education policy are not without considerable tensions and difficulties within the context of rapid cultural change and the impact of globalisation.
