İnsanlar tarihin her döneminde başkalarıyla benzerlikler ve farklılıklar üzerinden bir kimliğe sahip olmuşlardır. Bu kimliğin en önemli işleviyse güncel hayata tutunmayı ve toplumsal değerlere uyum sağlamayı kolaylaştırmak olmuştur. Aynılıkları bulmaya dönük bu süreçte aslında “başkalarından farklı olunduğu” ön kabulünden yola çıkılmaktadır. İhtiyaç duyulan bu farklılıklar kimliğe sağlam ve tutarlı bir alan oluşturur. Burada birey, kendini tanımlamak için ne olduğunu değil ne olmadığını temel almaktadır. Bunun içinde genellikle neredeyse tüm olumsuz değerleri üzerinde toplayan “öteki”ne ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Ulus-devlet tarih öğretimiyle toplumsal bellekte yer almasını istediği her türlü değeri, olumlu ve olumsuz yargıları, ötekilere dair imgeleri oldukça planlı ve programlı bir şekilde öğrencilere aktarılır ve makbul vatandaşlar hedeflenir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada 1930’lı yıllardaki lise tarih ders kitaplarında “öteki” kurgusunun nasıl ve hangi amaçlara yönelik inşa edildiği ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın yöntemi nitel içerik ve doküman analizine dayanmaktadır. “Öteki” kategorisi “Osmanlı geçmişi”, “iç ve dış düşman” ana temaları üzerinden incelenmiştir. Ders kitaplarında bulunan tarihsel anlatılar doğrudan örnekler üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, ulusal kimliğin daha anlamlı ve tutarlı olarak inşa edilebilmesi için "öteki" kategorisine ihtiyaç duyulduğu vurgulanmıştır. Tarih ders kitaplarında “öteki” ile yapılan karşılaştırmalar üzerinden “biz” duygusuna daha anlamlı ve tutarlı bir arka plan sağlamaktır.
