Review Quotes:
"Martin Davies' Imprisoned by History is an extremely important text. By demolishing epistemic and social myths about history and its social functions, it joins many other texts in today's arts and humanities that struggle for an 'outside' working from the 'inside' of academia." - Sande Cohen, Emeritus, California Institute of the Arts, USA
