| Abstract
|
:
|
This study is an investigation of the re-presentations of Muslims and Islam in two editions of three different high school world history textbooks available for adoption in two consecutive cycles, 2008–2014 and 2014–2020, in the state of Tennessee. The study also examined the change in re-presentations of Muslims and Islam between textbook editions. Postcolonialism was employed as the theoretical approach for this study. Critical discourse analysis was conducted to generate themes. This study found seven major themes of re-presentations of Muslims and Islam. The themes are: <i>violence, internal conflict, timelessness, mysticism, people and their roles, fabricated religion,</i> and <i>environmental impact on life style.</i> There was little change in re-presentations between editions of the textbooks.
