David Cannadine's impassioned, controversial plea for us to
recognise the importance of both equality and history Great works
of history have so often had at their heart a wish to sift people
in ways that have been profoundly damaging and provided
intellectual justification for terrible political decisions. Again
and again, categories have been found--religion, nation, class,
gender, race, 'civilization'--that have sought to explain world
events by fabricating some malevolent or helpless 'other'. The
Undivided Past is an agonised attempt to understand how so much of
the writing of history has been driven by a fatal desire to
dramatize differences - to create an 'us versus them'. Is is above
all an appeal to common humanity.
