The Lost Origins of the Essay by John D'Agata

Every history is a story, a marshaling of evidence to support a particular reading of the past. Of the Silk Road or Nordic myth. Of Alexandria or pirates or the atom bomb.

Celebrate People's History and Signs of Change

Celebrate People's History and Signs of Change

Taken together, these two books represent a departure from history as most of us learn it, both in form and content:Celebrate People’s History is a radical retelling of history by contemporary artists; Signs of Change is a visual record of historical events themselves.
