This book addresses political and historiographical uses of history. A group of leading historians and thinkers discuss questions of collective identity and representation in relation to the fluctuating concept of 'Past' and its changing relevance. Among the topics are Greek historiographical questions, Balkan history, the Armenian problem, and the Palestinian historical narrative.
