The Use of history
In recent years, European and American historians of Asia have spoken increasingly of the need to avoid Euro-centric views of Asian history. The need, they have observed, is to write from an Asian point of view. The history written by European colonial officials about native peoples and imperial governments has obviously had its day. Although there were some notable exceptions, such authors were, in fact, recording and interpreting their own national experiences in Asia rather than seeking to provide understanding of the history of Asian peoples. Certainly, the recent imperial experience must be put in perspective.rn
