Abstract

Academic approaches to history have been subject to change as a result of current social challenges such as immigration and multiethnic societies. This article asks whether such developments have also influenced concepts and portrayals within German history textbooks. How are recent trends in historical scholarship transposed into the condensed and highly politicized space of school textbooks? This question is examined through an analysis of a sample of recent history textbooks and curricula from different German federal states, focusing on topics such as transnational perspectives, gender history, postcolonial studies, and the representation of minorities.
