Silencing the Past by Michel-Rolph Trouillot
5.0
A really insightful discourse on how the things we choose to discuss silence others.
History is about choosing what is worthwhile and what is inconsequential. It's these choices that mean even well-educated people don't know about Juneteenth, or Black Wall Street, or Zoot Suit Riots or Stonewall or any number of things that don't affect white people. When we choose (as it's always a choice) to chronicle white history other things must be left out.
