What Is History For? by Robert Gildea

Gildea suggests that the more people who really understand what good history entails, the more likely history is to triumph over myth. He sees positive signs in public history, citizen historians and community projects, debunking claims that 'you cannot rewrite history', arguing that good history that's attuned to its times must be rewritten.
