पूर्व अब पश्चिमी दुनिया के लिए कोई खतरा नहीं था, और जब डरने के लिए कुछ न हो तो हम मुँह फेर लेते हैं, कहीं और देखने लगते हैं। पूर्वी साहित्य आज भी वह गरीब रिश्तेदार है जिसे हर कोई भुलाना चाहता है, वह सिंड्रेला जिसे (अभी तक) अपना राजकुमार नहीं मिला है।

The East was no longer a threat to the western world, and when there's nothing to fear we turn our backs, we look elsewhere. Eastern literature is still the poor relative that everyone wants to forget, the Cinderella who hasn't (yet) found her prince.

मुझे लगता है कि उस नाम का दाग आज भी कुछ मूल अमेरिकियों के दिलों में गहरा चुभता होगा, हालांकि कुछ ऐसे भी हैं जिन्हें इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता। वे वास्तव में सोचते हैं कि यह इस बात को उजागर करता है कि मूल अमेरिकियों का हमारे देश के निर्माण में क्या योगदान था, हालांकि मेरे पास इसके लिए कोई विचार नहीं है। मैं यह नहीं कह रहा हूँ कि "रेडस्किन्स" नाम अपमानजनक नहीं था, लेकिन इस नाम को बदलकर वाशिंगटन रेडस्किन्स करना एक सम्मानजनक कदम था।

I think that the whole stigma of the name may still burn deep with some of the Native people, but there are some that it doesn't bother. They actually think it brings enlightenment to the contributions that the Native Americans had in the establishment of our country, but I haven't come up with an idea. I'm not saying the name "Redskins" wasn't derogatory, but the actual changing the name to the Washington Redskins was an honorary move.

परिभाषाएँ आपको समय के उस जाल में फँसा देती हैं, और मेरा ध्यान किसी प्रक्रिया पर ज़्यादा होता है। उदाहरण के लिए 'लूसी' को ही ले लीजिए। लूसी मुख्य रूप से इसलिए मशहूर है क्योंकि उसका लगभग पूरा ढाँचा (कंकाल) सुरक्षित मिल गया था। उपकरणों के मामले में हम जितने परिपक्व होते जाते हैं, उतनी ही ज़्यादा नई बातें हमारे सामने आती हैं। उसके कंकाल के सीटी स्कैन से अब वैज्ञानिकों को लगता है कि उसकी मौत पेड़ से गिरने की वजह से हुई थी, क्योंकि उसकी हड्डियाँ जिस तरह से टूटी हैं, उससे यही संकेत मिलता है। अगर उन्नीसवीं और बीसवीं सदी की तकनीक हमारे शरीर को देखने का नज़रिया बदल सकती है, तो आज हम जो तकनीकें इस्तेमाल कर रहे हैं, वे क्या कुछ नहीं कर सकतीं?

Definitions get you into that time trap, and I'm very much more process-focused. Take Lucy, for example. Lucy is famous largely because she has almost a total skeleton. The more sophisticated we get with instruments, the more we can find out. Through CT scans of her skeleton, they now think she died falling out of a tree because of the way her bones are broken. If nineteenth and twentieth century technologies can retroactively transform our bodiment, what then do the technologies we now use do?

मेरी किताब 'साउंड अनबाउंड' में हमने उस व्यक्ति का पता लगाया जिसने रिकॉर्ड कवर स्लीव के ग्राफिक डिज़ाइन की मुख्य अवधारणा को तैयार किया था। उनका नाम एलेक्स स्टीनवेस है। और मेरी किताब में जिन चीज़ों को हमने गहराई से समझने की कोशिश की, उनमें से एक थी ग्राफिक डिज़ाइन में वह क्रांति जो तब आई जब लोगों ने एल्बम कवर पर तस्वीरें छापना शुरू किया।

In my book "Sound Unbound" we traced the guy who actually came up with the main concept for the graphic design of the record cover sleeve. His name is Alex Steinweiss. And one of the things in my book that we really tried to figure out was the revolution in graphic design that occurred when people put images on album covers.

पुरुष, न केवल तुर्की समाज में बल्कि हर जगह, सृजन के मामले में मालिक रहे हैं। अगर आप कला के इतिहास को देखें, तो महिलाएं हमेशा वस्तु (ऑब्जेक्ट) रही हैं। चूंकि महिलाओं ने कला नहीं बनाई, इसलिए कला के विषय भी महिलाएं नहीं रही हैं।

Men, not only in Turkish society but everywhere, have been the bosses in terms of creation. If you look at art history, women were the objects. The fact that it's not been made by women means that the subjects are not women.

आज की आधुनिक दुनिया में, जो आए दिन पॉप संस्कृति के नए तौर-तरीकों और पाखंडों से भरती जा रही है, लीसा मॉर्टन ने इतिहास के उस छिपे हुए और अनजाने पहलुओं से पर्दा उठाया है जो इतिहास के सबसे बड़े पॉप संस्कृति उत्सव यानी 'हैलोवीन' से जुड़े हैं। इस डरावने विषय के अनछुए पहलुओं को सामने लाने में उनका उत्साह और बेहतरीन शोध इस बात पर सोचने पर मजबूर कर देता है कि ऐसी और कितनी ही चीज़ें होंगी जिनके बारे में हम कुछ नहीं जानते, जबकि उन्हें तो हमारी चेतना का उतना ही आम हिस्सा होना चाहिए जितना टॉफियों का डिब्बा।

In a modern world, increasingly filled with pop culture fads and gimmicks, Lisa Morton reveals much of the underbelly history and unknown facts regarding the biggest pop culture event in history-Halloween. Her sheer delight and well-researched enthusiasm in tackling many of the unrecognized aspects of this monstrous topic makes one wonder what we don't know about everything else that should be as commonplace to our psyche as a bag of candy.

जब मैं 'वर्किंग ट्वावर्ड व्हाइटनेस' लिख रहा था, तो मुझे न्यू डील का एक ऐतिहासिक काम साफ़ दिखाई दिया - और जिसमें वह सफल भी रहा - वह यह था कि दक्षिणी और पूर्वी यूरोप से आए अप्रवासी और उनके बच्चों के बीच अमेरिकी नागरिकता की भावना को और मजबूत किया जाए। लेकिन इसी उपलब्धि ने यूरोप के गरीब और अक्सर दुत्कारा जाने वाले अप्रवासी मज़दूरों को रंगीन चमड़ी वाले मज़दूरों से एक अभूतपूर्व तरीके से अलग कर दिया।

As I wrote Working toward Whiteness, I came to see one historic task on the New Deal - and one in which it succeeded - as the fostering of fuller U.S. citizenship among immigrants from southern and eastern Europe and their kids. But this very achievement separated poorer and often despised immigrant workers from Europe and workers of color in unprecedented ways.

निक्सन ने सोवियत संघ को समझौतों के एक ऐसे जाल में लपेटने की कोशिश की जो उसके व्यवहार को नियंत्रित कर सके। हुआ यह कि कई लोगों का उस दृष्टिकोण से विश्वास उठ गया, और इसका एक बड़ा कारण यह था कि सोवियत संघ ने इससे कैसे निपटा।

Nixon tried to wrap the Soviet Union into a web of agreements that would constrain its behavior. What happened is that many people lost faith in that approach, not the least because of how the Soviets handled it.

मेरे लिए रिकॉर्ड्स हमेशा से समय यात्रा का सबसे अद्भुत माध्यम रहे हैं, और यही वजह है कि यह जानना बहुत अहम हो जाता है कि कोई चीज़ कब प्रसारित हुई थी, और उसे पाँच लोग देख रहे थे या पचास हज़ार।

Records have always been the most extraordinary form of time travel for me, and that's why it matters to know when something was circulated, and if it had an audience of five or 50,000.

'आर्काइव' या अभिलेखागार शब्द सुनने में बड़ा आश्वस्त करने वाला लगता है, लेकिन दस्तावेज़ी सामग्रियों के लंबे समय तक सुरक्षित रहने को लेकर मेरे मन में कई चिंताएँ हैं।

The word 'archive' seems so reassuring, but I have a lot ofconcern over the longevity of documentary materials.

'आर्काइव' (संग्रह) शब्द सुनने में बहुत सुकून देने वाला लगता है, लेकिन आजकल जिन चीज़ों को आर्काइव कहा जा रहा है, मैं उनके बारे में पूरी तरह आश्वस्त नहीं हूँ। क्या इस शब्द के इतने सारे अर्थ निकल आने से कुछ खोया भी है?

The word "archive" seems so reassuring, but I'm not sure about these things that are now being called archives. Is anything lost by the fact that the word has come to mean so many more things.

जब मुझे इस देश की इस सामाजिक समस्या का अहसास हुआ, तो मैंने अपने माता-पिता से पूछा कि क्या उन्हें गुलामी के बारे में कोई ऐसी बात पता है जो उन्हें विरासत में मिली हो। इस पर मेरे पिता ने बहुत संकोच किया। वह अक्सर कहा करते थे, "नहीं, मुझे इस बारे में कुछ नहीं पता, वह बुरा था, भयानक था, अब वह बीत चुका है और हम अपनी जिंदगी में आगे बढ़ना चाहते हैं।"

Even when I became cognizant of this societal problem in this country, I asked my father and my mother if they knew anything that had been passed on to them, about slavery, and my father was very reticent about it. He often said, "No, I don't know anything about it, and it was bad, it was awful and it's over and we want to get on with our lives."

ठीक वैसे ही जैसे इस्राइल के बच्चों को ईश्वर द्वारा यह निर्देश दिया गया था कि वे अत्याचारी राजा वाली अपनी गुलामी की भूमि को छोड़ें, एक विशाल समुद्र को पार करें और एक नए राष्ट्र की स्थापना करें, वैसे ही ग्रेट ब्रिटेन की संतानों को भी ईश्वर द्वारा अपनी धार्मिक गुलामी की भूमि छोड़ने, एक महासागर पार करने, एक वादे की धरती पर बसने, और अंततः एक "अत्याचारी" जॉर्ज तृतीय का विरोध करने तथा "ईश्वर के अमेरिकी इस्राइल" में एक नए राष्ट्र का निर्माण करने के लिए प्रेरित किया गया था।

Just as the children of Israel were directed by God to depart from the land of their oppression with its tyrannical monarch, cross a great sea, and establish a new nation, so, too, the children of Great Britain were led by God to leave the land of their religious oppression, cross a great ocean, inhabit a promised land, and, eventually, resist a "tyrannical" George III and create a new nation in "God's American Israel."

मेरा मानना है कि जिन देशभक्षकों को हम 'संस्थापक' कहते हैं, उनकी राजनीतिक सोच में बाइबिल से ज्यादा प्रमुख भूमिका किसी और किताब की नहीं रही।

इतिहास, यदि सही मायनों में लिखा जाए, तो वह महज़ ईश्वर की कृपा और विधान का लेखा-जोखा है; और जो कोई भी इतिहास को सही ढंग से पढ़ना चाहता है, उसे अपनी आँखें हमेशा ईश्वर के हाथों पर टिकाए रखनी होंगी। उन्नीसवीं सदी के एक इतिहासकार का यह कथन इतिहास के एक ईसाई शिक्षक की उस जिम्मेदारी को पूरी तरह बयान करता है, क्योंकि जो कोई भी इतिहास या किसी भी विषय को सही तरीके से पढ़ाना चाहता है, उसे अपनी आँखें हमेशा ईश्वर की कृपा पर टिकाए रखनी चाहिए।||

History, when rightly written, is but a record of providence; and he who would read history rightly, must read it with his eyes constantly fixed on the hand of God. This statement of a nineteenth-century historian sums up the responsibility of the Christian teacher of history, for he who would teach history or any subject matter rightly, must teach it with his eyes constantly fixed on the hand of God.
