Using History

Using History
Author(s): Jeremy Black

History can be very a public issue of national identity and is often distorted and manipulated by governments and interest groups. This book tackles the public, non-academic interpretation of history from a global perspective instead of the more traditional Western-dominated model.

Review(s):
“Deftly describes the way public history is distorted, manipulated, and used by governments and groups, but...never falls back on a nihilistic relativism.... Historians, college students, and all those interested in the uses of history will find this frequently witty book to be fascinating.” —History
