History Education in Africa : Research, Perspectives and Practices

This collection brings together African scholars in Africa and the diaspora to contribute to the scholarly debates about critical issues in history teaching and learning in African schools. The book seeks to fill the gap in knowledge on African history, associated pedagogies and practices and its consequent effects on research and the declining popularity of history in African Schools. Specifically, the volume seeks to (a) examine current trends and practices in history education in African schools, (b) unveil the challenges and subtleties of teaching the next generation of teachers and students, and (c) examine classroom practices and opportunities for engagement with historical concepts in African schools. The book will add a much-needed African voice to the international history education literature and contribute to strengthening the place of history teaching and learning in Africa.
