The school history textbook is often used to tell the story of a nation when young minds are unlikely to question the content - or even pay much attention to it. What do we want children to make of their own national past? Historian Priya Atwal, explores the global issues in telling textbook national history - from Lebanon to Japan to Northern Ireland and India. She explores history's uses as pedagogy and sometimes even propaganda. Producer: Mark Burman First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in January 2020.
