Il canone scolastico dalla storia nazionale alla pluralità delle memorie

The present paper comments on the essays collected in History Education at the Edge of the Nation. Political Autonomy, Educational Reforms, and Memory-Shaping in European Periphery (Palgrave Macmillan, Cham 2023). The author discusses the volume on the background of the tensions emerging in history education in schools from the so-called "memory boom". She focuses on three topics as a golden thread, namely the institutional legitimization of minority histories; the relevance of educational tools and the optionality of minority histories in school syllabuses.
