Product details

Foreword by Hazel V. Carby

A modern classic on power and the creation of history, featuring a new foreword by a prominent scholar.

By juxtaposing the West's failure to acknowledge the most successful slave revolt in history with the denial of the Holocaust and the debates surrounding the Alamo and Christopher Columbus, Michel-Rolph Trouillot offers a compelling meditation on how power shapes the creation and recording of history. Presented here with a new foreword by the esteemed scholar Hazel V. Carby, "Silencing the Past" is an essential analysis of the silences in our historical narratives—what is omitted and what is recorded, what is remembered and what is forgotten, and what these silences reveal about power inequalities.
