Ep. 31: Why is History Political? w/ Michael Tabuyan
Manage episode 325039515 series 2910502
History has served as both a target and a tool of politics. Historical revisionism and misinformation is currently saturating social media with backlash taking the form of deploying history as a means to forward political moral standards. Why is this the case? What is the relationship between History and Politics? How is History written? How can we have better conversations about History? We discuss this and more with our friend Mike Tabuyan who, as a citizen-academic, is currently engaged in the popularization of Philippine history.
