(Re)Presentations of Islam in Albanian History Textbooks from 1990 to 2013
Sulstarova, Enis
Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society, v9 n1 p16-35 Mar 2017
This article investigates the role of Islam in representations of the self and the other in the contemporary Albanian national discourse, on the basis of an analysis of history textbooks published in postcommunist Albania between 1990 and 2013, focusing specifcally on texts used in pre-university education. Even after the dissolution of the Socialist Republic of Albania in 1991, Islam in Albania continued to be associated with concepts derived from the socialist era, including the primacy of the nation as well as Eurocentrism and secularism, which were seen as the pinnacle of modernity.
