Abstract

The US/USSR Textbook Study Project was a joint research effort by teams of scholars in the United States and the Soviet Union. They investigated what American and Soviet students learn about each other from their history and geography textbooks.

This chapter is based mainly upon unpublished letters, notes, memos, and papers produced for the US/USSR Textbook Study Project from 1977–89 and retained in the author’s files. There is no suitable way of citing such materials; those who wish to pursue a particular point raised by this article should write to the author.
