Klappentext
British historians influenced the empire in critical ways. Time¿s Monster shows how the modern vision of history as a form of ethics empowered historians to shape policy, while history became a justification for domination. Later, alternative notions of history revised the discipline¿s ethics and effects, reminding us that ideas have consequences.
