“…The complexities found in HRE and peace education when it comes to the selection and bias of competing and conflicting historical narratives have been explored in depth by Iordanou, Kendeou, and Zembylas 2020;Bekerman and Zembylas 2013;Zembylas Charalambous, Charalambous, & Lesta, 2017. 'Knowledge blindness', understood as epistemic injustice, is caused by oppressive systems like colonialism. British educational policy will mention 'British values' in connection with HRE (Struthers & Mansuy, 2020) while ignoring problematisation of how human rights were suppressed under its colonial rule-and how political and economic rights might continue to be marginalised through legislation and economic ties with former colonies through the Commonwealth and in current British 'overseas territories'.
