Abstract
Is history always written by the victors? Panelists Ruth Dudley Edwards, Kehinde Andrews, Maximilian Sternberg and Yesim Yaprak Yildiz will discuss how history is used to advance nationalist and colonialist ideas and how different sides can fervently believe different versions of the same events. Their contributions will cover decolonisation, Irish history, torturersโ confessions in Turkey and how architectural heritage is used and abused in Jerusalem.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas 2017 series.
