Description
To travel round the world is to be reminded of the very public presence of history, of the past as issue and identity. Yet this is widely underrated. Using History is the first book to tackle public, non-academic history for the student and general reader. Furthermore, it does so from a truly global perspective as opposed to focusing on the traditional Western-dominated model.

Black deftly describes the way public history is distorted, manipulated, and used by governments and groups, but he never falls back on a nihilistic relativism.... Historians, college students, and all those interested in the uses of history will find this frequently witty book to be fascinating.
