A cliché has it that history is written by the winners. It might be more accurate to say that history is written by the powerful and usually presents as a narrative of their inevitable triumph. But such history ignores inconvenient truths or relegates them to footnotes and appendices. The relation between wealth and poverty and between the powerful and the powerless, or, in this case, between the colonized and the colonizer, is among the most important of these truths.
