Education in Divided Societies examines how cultures with ethnic conflicts use educational initiatives to stave off potential problems. Gallagher uses examples to discover what role education can play in societies where ethnic conflict is rife or where cultures are on the verge of conflict. The author’s argument for education as a possible solution to dissolving ethnic conflict is muddled somewhat by another argument advanced by the author that each problem should be solved from within its own cultural circumstances. Chapter 1 begins by discussing the evolution of the Holocaust. Gallagher describes how a society that discriminates becomes a society that eliminates, and he attempts to understand this conflict through the lens of various sociological interpretations. Underscoring the rationality of persecution, Gallagher proposes that we look at the Holocaust as an educational tool. He argues that indifference “should form the main theme or warning we take from the Holocaust” (p. 5).... (preview truncated at 150 words.)
