Like all good histories, it is a complex story and a matter of unanticipated consequences and ironic narrative twists. Seixas' history is, like all good histories, of intrinsic interest in itself. There are also many points of commonality and contrast and much food for reflection for us here. The 'benchmarks of historical thinking' that Seixas describes are similar to our 'key concepts' and 'process' but also raise questions for us: how clear are we, for example, about the ethics of history and how frequently do we explicitly ask our students to explicitly debate them?
