No full textTragedi 13 Mei 1969 merupakan insiden yang paling dahsyat melibatkan hubungan kaum di Malaysia. Tragedi ini dianggap taboo, menakutkan dan memberi kesan kepada masyarakat sehingga menimbulkan beberapa persepsi. Tragedi ini menunjukkan kepentingan etnik adalah segala-galanya bagi kaum yang ada di negara ini berbanding kepentingan nasional. Hal ini kerana sosiopolitik setiap kaum bersifat perkauman. Agen-agen seperti sejarah, pendidikan, media, parti politik dan pertubuhan bukan kerajaan amat kuat mencengkam budaya politik setiap kaum. Akhirnya, lahirlah setiap bangsa yang memperjuangkan kepentingan masing-masing. Oleh itu kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemahaman pelajar tentang Peristiwa 13 Mei 1969 menggunakan pendekatan Grounded Theory.

iii kajian ini. Oleh itu, harapan pengkaji supaya Peristiwa 13 Mei 1969 dapat dibincangkan secara terbuka tanpa prejudis dari seluruh masyarakat dan teori kesepaduan dalam kepelbagaian diberi tumpuan apabila membicarakan tentang tragedi ini
