This comprehensive book delves into the intricate discourses surrounding nation-building, civic identity, minority representation, and the formation of religious identities in school textbooks across the globe. It provides up-to-date, practical, and scholarly insights into qualitative and mixed-method textbook analysis, as well as the broader context of critical comparative textbook and curriculum analyses in and across selected countries. The volume offers unique and empirical research on how internal educational policies and ideological goals of dominant social, political, and economic groups shape textbook production and the curricular aims in different educational systems worldwide.

Chapters in this book explore various aspects, including the role of school textbooks around the world in fostering nationhood, the creation of citizenship through school textbooks. It also delves into the complexities of gender in normative discourses, and the intersection of religion and culture in school textbooks.

By examining these critical topics, the book aims to provide educators, policymakers, and researchers with valuable insights into the ways in which school textbooks. Textbooks can influence the formation of students' identities, values, and attitudes, and contribute to the perpetuation or challenging of social, political, and economic inequalities.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in education, sociology, political science, and cultural studies, as it offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex interplay between textbooks and the broader social, political, and economic contexts in which they are produced and consumed.
