"James Miles and Matthew Keynes have produced an exceptional study of the challenges and possibilities for history education in cultures of redress. Education and Historical justice is thoughtful and thorough-a collaboration of the best kind." --Anna Clark, Historian, University of Technology Sydney, Australia "How can education reckon with and work to repair historical injustices? James Miles and Matthew Keynes brilliantly explore the tensions and politics of responsibility and redress within schools. Traversing multiple national contexts, this book shows us new epistemic and relational possibilities for 'historical justice education'; an exciting and thoroughly compelling invitation to rethink education's relationship to past, present and future." --Arathi Sriprakash, Professor of Sociology and Education, University of Oxford, UK "The book gives a clearly structured view of the major issues connected with the timely challenges of dealing with historical wrongs in history education. It presents a coherent analysis of how the topic historical justice intertwines with the central questions of history education, like time and narrative, and what it could entail for the subject history if the political and moral implications of dealing with historical wrongs in the history curriculum are taken seriously." --Jan Löfström, Professor of Education, University of Turku, Finland "Drawing on compelling international examples, Miles and Keynes offer a theoretically rich exploration of historical justice in educational contexts. This book advances the field of history education significantly through its examination of a concept that is at the heart of liberal democratic nations' efforts to come to terms with their difficult, violent, and contested pasts.
