"Publications like Stéphane Lévesque and Jean-Philippe Croteau’s new manuscript Beyond History for Historical Consciousness: Students, Narrative, and Memory, published by the University of Toronto Press, are important for developing academic dialogue related to how students come to, and leave, their history education."
Samantha Cutrara, York University, Historical Studies in Education
"Beyond History for Historical Consciousness examines an incredibly important topic, relevant not only to a Canadian audience. It should be read by American history educators as well, since French Canadian history shares important parallels with the histories of many groups in the United States, such as Mexican Americans. Ultimately, Beyond History for Historical Consciousness challenges educators to consider the role that narratives and collective memory play in our understanding of the past. The book highlights the need for history educators to consider the power of narrative templates, the role of conflicting interpretations, and the place of historical consciousness in their classrooms."
Christopher C. Martell, College of Education and Human Development, University of Massachusetts Boston
"Presenting cutting-edge research on history education, Beyond History for Historical Consciousness is a groundbreaking work with significant importance for history education in Canada and beyond."
