Popis:	This chapter presents an overview of the analysis of the social, cultural and political constructs of national leaders and their symbolic representation in school history textbooks. It critiques dominant historical narratives and the ‘hero’ concept. It is argued that meanings derived from text and image alike, of course, impact how students perceive their country’s history and their active role within it. By employing critical discourse analysis, multimodal analysis, and social semiotics, this approach is likely to make an innovative contribution to the critical analysis of language and signs used in the history classroom.
