9/11 And Collective Memory In Us Classrooms: Teaching About Terror (Routledge Research In Education)

Arguing that the events of 9/11 have become a "chosen trauma" for the US, this volume investigates how 9/11 is being taught in classrooms (if at all) and what narrative is being passed on to today's students about that day. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered from US middle and high school teachers, it examines the understanding that the "post-9/11 generation" has of what happened and what it means for foreign policy in the coming decades (especially in the Islamic World) and whether it is likely to generate war or foster peace. 9780415742016 0415742013 0 BOOK Collective memory NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=GpPZoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
