ATD: unanswered questions #2

[Bekah]

I think it's not so much an adjustment of history itself (as event)   
as it is an adjustment of how we perceive and construct our  
historical narrative -  the book observes events "from above" and   
through a more revisionist, anarchist, revolutionary,  lens.   I need  
to think about this a tad more.
