Abstrakt

This article examines how the topics of migration, cultural diversity, and discrimination are depicted in current Austrian school textbooks and how they are discussed and perceived by pupils of diff erent age groups attending diff erent types of schools. The discussion concentrates on three main issues: the representation of migration as problematic; the use, critical or otherwise, of specifi c terms; and whether the history of migration to and from Austria is represented and perceived as part of a common Austrian history. Alongside the fi ndings of the textbook analysis, we show how the involvement of pupils in textbook and migration research can contribute to the production of scientifi c knowledge in this area.
