The Undivided Past: Humanity Beyond Our Differences,
by David Cannadine
This offbeat work on human history takes a broad-brush approach to the problem of "Us" versus
"Them." Cannadine examines six categories of human behavior that he believes have divided us
and always will. He makes a powerful case that in ancient history people did not go to war
over religion, nation, class, gender, race and civilization. While today the emphasis is on
the disasters and terrorist acts caused by the haters, Cannadine maintains that we should
remember times past when people just wanted to get along despite their differences.
"We need to see beyond our differences... to embrace and to celebrate the common humanity
that has always bound us together." The Undivided Past is a provocative, thought-provoking
historical study.
