Erik Sjöberg Crabtree and Dunn (1998), Macintyre and Clark (2004) have identified common aspects in these “history wars” in different countries. They argue that the conflicts are rooted in movements for conservative restoration, discernible from the 1980s onwards, which can be understood as “essentially a backlash movement to the gains of the sixties”, in the field of education (Repoussi, 2009:76). The principal combatants of these controversies are thus advocates of nationalism and a restoration of traditional values in, among other things, history education, on one hand and, on the other, advocates of what is sometimes referred to as progressive education. As demonstrated throughout this article, there is much that suggests that the Macedonian conflict can be analysed in this larger context; however, the approach to the study of these controversies outlined by these researchers entails the risk of analysing them in terms of binary oppositions. As Susanne Popp has argued, each case of textbook controversy or “history war” must be recognised as having many causes, from which follows that it must be studied in the context of national and international comparison (Popp, 2009:120). In this article, I have briefly addressed some elements of the complexity of the Greek history wars, with an emphasis on a particular aspect of the war over the past. This aspect can be described as the needs of various advocates of “national values” in history education to demarcate themselves in the name of science, reason and patriotic duty from a nationalism considered too extreme. Embedded in this is the clash of different “nationalist” agendas, or rather professional and/or identity political agendas framed in the discourse of nationalism, within the same national context. These interests have been discussed with reference to Gieryn’s concept of boundary-work, which I hope will also be of use in a more elaborate study and analysis of the <strong>issue</strong>s touched upon in this article. Erik Sjöberg is a doctoral student of History at the Department of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies, <strong>Umeå</strong> University, Sweden. His research focuses on the use of history, history wars, memory politics, nationalism and ethno-political mobilisation in a Greek and transnational context. E-mail: erik.sjoberg@historia.umu.se 104
