Review: Excellently written and an intriguing view of how history is created - This is an excellent book, for many reasons. First, it's a book about the history of the Western Hemisphere (mostly), centering on Haiti and San Souci, and then upon Columbus. Second, it's a book about how history is determined. It's not just a compendium of facts. History is developed and managed based upon certain facts and upon the suppression of other certain facts. Third, it's a book about what history means, how facts are presented or suppressed, what the history of that history is. Fourth, it is simply an excellently written book. The language is crisp and accurate, the thought advances at a smooth but swift state, and the author is present in every paragraph and word. There is no hesitancy or evasiveness. I enjoyed this book. It's a history book, but I enjoyed it.
Review: A very important read - This book is very important and understanding much for what goes on today with the bending of history and accommodating facts to meet a certain purpose. The book is well organized, well documented and challenge of us to see the pass and act upon it in the present

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sheer brilliance on paper
*by H***. on June 15, 2023*

I've returned to Trouillot's influential historiography time and time again throughout my undergrad at Johns Hopkins. Trouillot (Hopkins alum) shaped my understanding of history as a practice, changing the way I think about writing history, the what, the why, and the how. An inspiring read for historians and non-historians alike!
