Perhaps it’s time we lunatics admit our agenda.

What I aim to smuggle into history—my revisionist agenda as it were—is democratic pluralism.

This means there should be more than one perspective/voice when it comes to the production of historical knowledge.

It also means that facts and narratives should be seen as doing ideological work, advancing specific concepts of national identity, and aiding or frustrating the struggle for justice.

It means using the past to promote critical thinking.
