A "popular" history in the sense that it is aimed at the general public but also in its subject matter. It is not about the "great men" of history but the people. For "those at the bottom" to form a true "people" (in the political sense of the term), they need to be bound to each other. This link is not the "feeling of belonging to the nation", as French republican ideologues would have us believe, but the dominance exerted by the power of the State and the resistance of those subject to it.
