The State of History Teaching in Private-Run Confessional Schools in Lebanon: Implications for National Integration.

Examines the policies regarding history curriculum of the seven major confessional schools in Lebanon. Using textual analysis of history books, reviews of policies, and interviews with students, educational decision makers, and history teachers, the paper argues that confessional schools have propagated their own line of discourse for history teaching without accommodating a pluralistic discourse of integration.
