It suggests that the reflection of people's concept of themselves is a much greater influence in the writing of history than has previously been thought and examines in detail how history was used to subvert the socialist project in Mongolia. This is the first study of the symbolic struggle over who controlled 'the past' and the 'true' identity of a Mongol, fought between the ruling party and its protesters during HistoriographyMongoliaHistory20th centuryMemorySocial aspectsMongoliaHistory20th centuryMongoliaHistoriographyHistoriographyHistoryMemorySocial aspectsHistory951.7/3Kaplonski C(Christopher),1530677MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784099503321Truth, history and politics in Mongolia3775889UNINA
