History textbooks as official history are historiographical works which in their use are permitted for educational purposes. The problem in the study of historical textbooks is that there is a dichotomy in the material orientation of the doctrine of Nationalism and multiculturalism, where these two values should be an integral and inseparable part. The internalization of the values of multiculturalism and nationalism needs to be understood by teachers and students in order to know the national identity without ignoring the sides of pluralism and multiculturalism as a form of socio-historical diversity of students as Indonesian society. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with document study techniques (content analysis). This study aims to describe the process of planting multicultural values and the doctrine of nationalism in textbooks in building national identity (national character building) in learning history in the classroom.
