The audience for the book will no doubt be a broad one consisting of history teachers and teacher educators as well as those connected and interested in history and comparative education more generally ... It is a thoughtful, rich and constructive collection which makes a strong case for reconsidering the persistence of nationstate approaches to the teaching of history and offers new and interesting ways in which this might be done.
