Opis

Public History for a Post-Truth Era explores how to combat historical denial when faith in facts is at an all-time low.

Recenzje

The denial of substantiated realities of the past is examined in Liz Sevcenko's incisive contribution, which explores questions of truth, consensus, and power in public histories from several critical perspectives. Written in an accessible and clear style, it is punctuated by personal reflections and offers a lucid treatment of the subject. This breadth and depth make it a valuable addition to literature on this vital topic.
