xxiii, 190p. 24cm. In this provocative analysis of historical narrative, Michel-Rolph Trouillot demonstrates how power operates, often invisibly, at all stages in the making of history to silence certain voices. From the West's failure to acknowledge the Haitian Revolution, the most successful slave revolt in history, to the continued debate over denials of the Holocaust, and the meaning of Columbus's arrival in the Americas, Trouillot shows us that history is not simply the recording of facts and events, but a process of actively enforced silences, some unconscious, others quite deliberate The Power in the Story -- The Three Faces of Sans Souci -- An Unthinkable History -- Good Day, Columbus -- The Presence in the Past. / Michel-Rolph Trouillot History & geography Philosophy & theory of history Historicism Aufstand Historiography 901 TRO 9780807080535 :International Book Distributors :Flat No 14, Prakash Apartment 5 Ansari Road Darya Ganj New Delhi 190415 20190417152236.0
