In 1961 the Centre for the Study of the History of Education at Ghent University, Belgium published the first issue of the multilingual journal Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education.

This volume examines the present status and future trends of textbook studies. Cutting-edge essays by leading experts and emerging scholars explore the field’s theories, methodologies, and topics with the goal of generating debate and providing new perspectives. The Georg Eckert Institute’s unique transdisciplinary focus on international textbook research has shaped this handbook, which explores the history of the discipline, the production processes and contexts that influence textbooks, the concepts they incorporate, how this medium itself is received and future trends. The book maps and discusses approaches based in cultural studies as well as in the social and educational sciences in addition to contemporary methodologies used in the field. The book aims to become the central interdisciplinary reference for textbook researchers, students, and educational practitioners.

Was ist aus Schulbüchern über Afrika zu lernen und woher kommen diese Wissensbestände? Schulbuchproduktion wird in diesem Band als Knotenpunkt gesellschaftlicher Diskurse und Praktiken verstanden und Schulbuchwissen im Kontext seiner Produktionsbedingungen sowie der gesellschaftlichen Debatten analysiert. Mit Blick auf die Schulbuchproduktion wird gezeigt, dass die Vorstellung, dass Schulbücher in einem Top-down-Modell produziert werden, relativiert werden muss. Zudem wird sichtbar, wie viele unterschiedliche Akteurinnen und Akteure im Bildungsbereich um Afrikawissen rangen. Lars Müller zeichnet das Spektrum des Sagbaren in Bezug auf Afrikawissen nach und zeigt, wie sich manche Wissensb...
