In 2012, historian Norman Davies set off on a global circumnavigation. Beneath Another Sky: A Global Journey into History and Memory is his account of the places he visited and the history he found there. As in his best-selling Vanished Kingdoms(Penguin PB $29.99), Davies’ historical gaze penetrates behind the present to see how things became as they are, and how peoples came to tell themselves the stories that make up their identities. Human beings have been travelling – pushing out others or arriving in terra nullius – since the beginning of recorded time. So to whom is a land truly native? As always, Davies has his eye on the historical horizon as well as on what is close at hand, brilliantly complicating our view of the past.
