Unit 2: History and Memory
How are history and memory different? Topics in this unit range from the celebration of
Columbus Day to the demolition of a Korean museum to the historical re-interpretation of Mayan
civilization, exploring the ways historians, nations, families, and individuals capture, exploit,
and know the past, and the dynamic nature of historical practice and knowledge. It is related to
Unit 1 because world historians also have multiple ways of understanding the
past, each of which determines how the past will be told and remembered. more »

historians have attempted to come up with comprehensive frameworks through which to understand the
human story. more »

of accelerating global interaction. more »
