Postkoloniale Theorie – geschichtsdidaktisch reflektiert – eroffnet praxisrelevante Perspektiven fur eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Kolonialismus und seinem Erbe in der Geschichtsvermittlung.


Postcolonial theory is a topic of ongoing heated discussions: for some it is a “super theory” for the age of globalization, while others see it as an elitist discourse that only leads to sectarian identity politics. But what role can it play for the field of history didactics theory and for history teaching? The study answers this question via a systematic analysis of “postcolonial” teaching materials. The result are four “claims” for the implementation of postcolonial theory in history education. The analysis shows that history didactics must critically reflect on postcolonial theory, but cannot do without its impulses for the advancement of both its theory and the teaching practice.
