This discussion group focuses on books that challenge or expand on dominant historical narratives and research methodologies.  Together, we investigate -- and question -- the common idea that history is merely the objective presentation of facts, and explore the ways in which ideology plays a role in how history is interpreted, transmitted, and culturally/academically institutionalized.

Note: The selected book will be available at Firestorm with a 15% discount during the month prior to each meeting. Join our book buyers club and save 25%!
