In this analytical discussion of Australia’s “history wars,” Tony Taylor explores the politics behind the National History Project. While he agrees that history classrooms are important sites for building historical consciousness, he questions the motives of federal politicians who revived the urgency to learn and study Australia’s national history. He posits that there is a need to bring history educators and academic historians together, but the National History Project may be too top-down to be effective for teachers or historians. In this chapter Taylor provides history and details of the history wars, reactions from teachers and historians, and suggestions for future collaboration.
