Amy S. Kaufman and Paul B. Sturtevant examine the many ways in
which the medieval past has been manipulated to promote
discrimination, oppression, and murder. Tracing the fetish for
"medieval times" behind toxic ideologies like nationalism,
antisemitism, Islamophobia, misogyny, and white supremacy, Kaufman
and Sturtevant show us how the Middle Ages have been twisted for
political purposes in every century that followed. The Devil's
Historians casts aside the myth of an oppressive, patriarchal
medieval monoculture and reveals a medieval world not often shown
in popular culture: one that is diverse, thriving, courageous,
compelling, and complex.
