KİTAP İNCELEMESİ: Teaching Peace and Conflict: The Multiple Roles of School Textbooks in Peacebuilding

Abstract

While education can play an important role in fighting inequalities, it also perpetuates them, and this perpetuation feeds into social division and conflict (Dikkaya and Özyakışır 2006, 163–65). Textual analyses across 71 countries from 1966 to 2008 found that textbooks were influenced by armed conflict (p. vii). The importance of this collection, Teaching Peace and Conflict: The Multiple Roles of School Textbooks in Peacebuilding, is that it illustrates the crucial position not just of political parties, elections, and security, but also of education within conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
