Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1990-talet genomfördes en genomgripande reform av det svenska gymnasiet. Dels ersattes de tidigare gymnasielinjerna med treåriga program, som samtliga ger en grundläggande högskolebehörighet, dels flyttades ansvaret för utbildningens genomförande och ekonomi från staten till kommunerna.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns en skillnad mellan historia som vetenskap och historia som historiskt minne, som boken vill fästa uppmärksamhet på. Ådalen som motbild till det trygga Folkhemmet är en bild av hur vi kan uppleva verkligheten. Inte nödvändigtvis hur den såg ut. Vår uppfattning om vad som hänt kan vaa nog så verklig när vi handlar, agerar och tolkar omvärlden. Det är denna tolknThe prelude to this thesis is provided by the dramatic scenes that took place in Ådalen.
