Trouillot analyzes the silences in our historical narratives, what is left out and what is recorded, what is remembered and what is forgotten, and what these silences reveal about inequalities of power. With exacting precision, he exposes forces less visible—but no less powerful—than gunfire, property, and political crusades in shaping the production of history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50767486615714,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/71qbeV4QCDL._SY342.jpg?v=1793281454","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/silencing-the-past-power-and-the-production-of-history-beacon-classics-by-michel-rolph-trouillot","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
