Description
How do textbooks shape historical memory? This book offers the first comparative insight into how Gulf monarchies (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE) portray the Ottoman Empire in school history textbooks from the 2000s to the 2020s. Using critical discourse analysis and Pierre Nora's lieux de mémoire, the study examines how the monarchies utilize history as a tool for identity, dynastic continuity, and geopolitical legitimacy. It targets researchers in Middle Eastern studies, history, and sociology of education.
Mustafa Nasar specializes in memory politics, historiography, and state formation in the Middle East.
