Mainstream scholarship on the cultivation of social identities in school education often focuses on just national, ethnic, or religious identities. What is noteworthy about Memory in the Mekong is that it examines the fascinating aspect of a unified regional identity in the Mekong subregion, one of the most diverse places on Earth. As a result, this endeavor generates complex insights that will interest not just practitioners and scholars of history and citizenship education but any reader interested in themes of nationhood, belonging, and identities.



Harvard Educational Review An essential resource that should be on the bookshelves of all academics, practitioners, and students interested in the topics of historical memory, curriculum development and reform, and identity.



Comparative Education Review Memory in the Mekong, a well-crafted book, fills a gap in the literature, bringing together diverse perspectives. The case studies also provide a fascinating glimpse into the international relations in the region.
