Storia identitaria contro storia critica. Ragionamenti dentro la «fabbrica del sentimento nazionale»

Dans la fabrique du sentiment national. L'Histoire à l'école depuis 1945 is an important book, which disproves the commonplace according to which the renationalisation of history curricula – a phenomenon presents throughout the world and in Europe in particular – is a reaction to globalist, empathic and intercultural pedagogies. In reality, the self-centred view has never left European classrooms, even if it has had to come to terms with a critical approach since 1945. It is therefore necessary for the didactic scholar to revise his or her tools of analysis, and for the academic historian to take an interest in the historical education of citizens.
