According to the passage, regardless of how impartially they are written, history textbooks ----.
History is one of the few school subjects commonly
mandated in education systems throughout the world.
Furthermore, the use of history textbooks to support
student learning is an almost universally accepted
practice. However, the widespread international
presence of the humble history textbook should not
disguise its ideological and cultural potency. Indeed,
essential to understanding the power and importance of
history textbooks is to appreciate that in any given
culture they typically exist as the keepers of ideas,
values and knowledge. No matter how neutral history
textbooks may appear, they are ideologically important,
because they often seek to inject the youth with a
shared set of values, national ethos and an
incontrovertible sense of political orthodoxy. Textbooks
stand as cultural artefacts that embody a range of
issues associated with ideology, politics and values
which in themselves function at a variety of different
levels of power, status and influence. Embedded in
history textbooks are narratives and stories that nation
states choose to tell about themselves and their
relations with other nations. Typically, they represent a
core of cultural knowledge which future generations are
expected both to assimilate and support.
