The other side of the coin

The popular imagination generally perceives history in a polarised manner. It is seen either as a result of the handiwork of powers outside the territory where it unfolds, or it results from the needs, decisions and aspirations of the people and communities residing in it. And although this binary division of events and incidents that mark the ebb and flow of time does not neatly fit into the kaleidoscopic nature of interaction between different forms of powers and various interest groups that are responsible for making history in the first place, it does provide the public with a stable ground to form their interpretation on.
