ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on history education and the messages it sends Hong Kong youth about diversity, multiculturalism, and nationalism. The first two sections of the chapter discuss the aims of history education in a society generally, and in the context of the politics of history education in Hong Kong over time. The third section provides an analysis of history textbook content and the messages texts provide related to diversity, multiculturalism, and nationalism. This chapter underscores a sense that Hong Kong curricula have nationalistic tendencies, not multicultural (or pro-Hong Kong) ones, as assimilation is commended in history texts with a pro-Mainland outlook.
