Nathaniel Philbrick Zitate

I consider myself a writer who happens to write about history, rather than a historian. I was an English major in college. What I've learned about history is in the field, so to speak. Going into the archives and working with it directly.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich betrachte mich als Schriftsteller, der zufällig über Geschichte schreibt, und nicht als Historiker. Ich war ein englischer Major am College. Was ich über Geschichte gelernt habe, ist sozusagen in der Praxis. Ins Archiv gehen und direkt damit arbeiten.

White writers in many cases choose not to populate their fiction with people of color. A lot of what I'm doing is trying to write against that, not about race but against the avoidance of race that's such a dominant model in white literary discourse.

I try and direct environmentally, so that people don't feel like everything is going to depend on what happens when someone says, 'action,' so that they can literally be swimming in the warm water, and at some point the race begins, and at some point the race ends, but it is about being free to swim.
