一本中学历史教科书如何促进日本青少年的民族自豪感？试图将这一目标与二战前和二战期间日本军事功绩的令人遗憾的例子调和起来，已经在国内和国际上引起了相当大的关注，更不用说高度情绪化的抗议了。这份报告介绍了日本文部科学省2001年批准在全国公立和私立中学使用的“新历史教科书”的一些挑衅内容、呈现策略和政治影响。由日本历史教科书改革协会(Atarashii Rekishi KyōKasho Tsukrukai)发起并撰写的这本教科书对历史的错误呈现引发了人们对政府审批程序的轩然大波，重新引发了人们对日本民族主义活动高涨的担忧，并对日本与中国和韩国的关系产生了不利影响。
How does a middle-school history textbook go about promoting nationalistic pride in adolescent Japanese? Trying to reconcile this goal with the sorry examples of Japan's military exploits before and during World War II has created considerable domestic and international concern, not to mention highly emotional protests. This report presents some of the provocative contents, strategies of presentation, and political repercussions of the “new history textbook,” approved by Japan's Ministry of Education and Science in 2001 for use in public and private middle schools nationwide. Sponsored and authored by the Japan Society for History Textbook Reform (Atarashii Rekishi Kyōkasho o Tsukuru Kai), the textbook's problematic rendition of history has produced an uproar over the government's screening and approval process, renewed concern about an upsurge of nationalistic activity in Japan, and adversely affected Japan's relations with China and South Korea.
