Abstract

There is nothing unusual or sinister in the fact that each generation rewrites history to suit its own needs, or about disagreements within the profession and among the public at large about how history should best be taught and studied.--- Eric Foner, Who owns history?: rethinking the past in a changing world. 2002. p. xi [2]
