Abstract

152 Book Reviews the ages; however, how today’s nations move on the world stage, their claims and their quarrels, are political issues in which history is generally misuse as an instrument of propaganda. Reminding how maps have always been ‘dangerous things’ –in China more than elsewhere- Timothy Brook tries to save Selden’s map from that destiny. As Patrick Geary’s pamphlet on the distortion of European history by modern nationalists (P. Geary, The Myth of Nations, Princeton University Press, 2003) demonstrates, though, when it comes to politics, such scrupulous warnings are usually left unheard.
