The Bible, Hayden White, and the Settlements: Teaching Religious Zionist History in the Postmodern Era
Weintraub, Roy
Journal of Educational Media, Memory and Society, v11 n2 p45-64 Sep 2019
In recent decades, the impact of postmodern approaches to history teaching has triggered an extensive worldwide debate that accommodates diverse and contrasting voices. This article examines how the education system of Religious Zionism, one of the most important ideological movements in Israel, copes with this issue. This inquiry, which is based on Peter Seixas's conceptualization, analyzes the system's history curriculum, its latest textbooks, and an array of lesson plans. The analysis reveals a complex method of coping with postmodernism, including the adoption of clearly postmodern attitudes at the declarative level and the neutralization of their influence in practice.
