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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel-Rolph Trouillot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807024126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichel-Rolph Trouillot, one of the most prominent Haitian scholars in the United States, is director of the Institute for Global Studies in culture, Power, and History and Krieger\/Eisenhower Distinguished Professor in anthropology at Johns Hopkins University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Michel-Rolph Trouillot \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47712142065821,"sku":"9780807024126","price":41.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_b8e836ba-72ae-426a-885c-3b1ce6f5c5c8.jpg?v=1773171748","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/silencing-the-past-power-and-the-production-of-history-9780807024126","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
