The image we have of ourselves and the one we form of other peoples of the earth is closely connected to the history we were told when we were children. It marks us, in this way, for our entire existence.

In the footsteps of this history, Marc Fero leads us, utilizing narratives, traditions, school textbooks, and films. Children - and we too - have a right to history, to the truth of history.

This multilingual work is taught in several foreign universities and represents a multidimensional study with a comparative character, as the author attempts to capture both the common features and the specificities presented in the teaching of the subject of History around the world.

This book is precisely the epitome of this original and complex reflection. A panorama of school History with a universal character.
