«Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History» is the historical essay by Michel-Rolph Trouillot, published by Beacon Press in paperback, in English.
Trouillot analyzes how power intervenes in the construction of historical narrative, with cases such as the Haitian Revolution, Holocaust denials and the celebration of Columbus. History is not a simple record of facts but a process of omissions, some unconscious and others deliberate, that leaves out certain voices.
A work of historiography and philosophy of history; this edition includes a new foreword by Hazel V. Carby.
Recommended for students and readers interested in historiography, theory of history and cultural studies.
