Product reviews for 40 Ways to Diversify the History Curriculum

This book is a must-read for any teacher of history which offers detailed, practical and insightful advice on diversifying the curriculum. These are not ‘top tips’ or tokenistic gestures of representation, but deeply thoughtful suggestions linking to second-order concepts which will help students understand how, as the author makes clear in her introduction, identity and representation matter in shaping our sense of self, our communities and the ways in which our conception of the world is constructed. In doing so, Elena Stevens doesn’t simply introduce us to people and situations we may have been ignorant of, but she offers a way of making us all better historians along the way. And, it would not be too much to claim, better human beings too.
