History Takeaways

The colonial enslavers deployed history to better effect than they could do with their troopers. They devised a history to cement the servitude of the race. The irony is that the same historiography flourishes in different garbs. Though many ommissions and commissions of mainstream historiographies denying dignity and agency to the people are now exposed, the citizens have yet to have a history which offers them takeaways to facilitate their well-being and national good. Things are happening for good, but without the intellectual support history could have provided.
