(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2012) Bilginer, Emre Metin; Özcan, Gencer
The thesis aims to analyze one of the recent debates on history textbook writing in Greece. The debate the thesis will deal with was generated by the publication of a history textbook written by a group of historians led by another historian Maria Repousi. Being a sensitive issue among the public and politicians alike, common history of Greeks and Turks that lasted for centuries has always been a matter of lively debate. With a new perspective to a number of issues, Contemporary History Textbook for 6th Grades brought about a debate, which engulfed the entire Greek society. The debate surrounding the book displayed major political cleavages in the Greek society and highlighted the way leading political parties and other groupings perceived major historical issues that pertain to the common past of the two nations. After defining major characteristics of the book, the thesis focuses on the special topics that the book dealt with and eventually caused the debate, and finally takes up and discusses major arguments that the outstanding parties to the debate put forward.
