Book Synopsis
Learning democracy is a challenge for societies - then as now. Johanna Bethge examines the role that textbooks played after the Second World War in practicing democratic ways of thinking and behaving in occupied Germany within the American zone of occupation and West Berlin: The American side attached great importance to the history book in particular for democratization. Not only the printed textbook, but also its transnational development process in particular, are examined in this volume on the basis of partially untapped sources from at home and abroad. This makes it possible to provide unusual insights into the individual and collective practice of textbook production and reception and to refute common assessments of re-education research.
