There are frequent protests that a biased, nationalistic history is taught in Japanese schools. This study analyses authorised textbooks currently in use, elucidating meanings and associated ideologies created through language.
The Japanese history textbook debate is one that keeps making the news, particularly with reference to claims that Japan has never ''apologised properly'' for its actions between 1931 and 1945, and that it is one of the few liberal, democratic countries in which textbooks are controlled and authorised by the central government. There are frequent protests, both from within Japan and from overseas, that a biased, nationalistic history is taught in Japanese schools. This is the first time that all the authorised textbooks currently in use have been analysed using a critical discourse that is anchored firmly in the theory of ''language within society'', elucidating the meanings and associated ideologies created by the language of the textbooks.
