Alternative history
” Precisely because there is no single clear meaning for history and for every story we propose, alternative stories can be proposed , precisely because of the difficulty in knowing a world or society that is different from our own – the history profession is a distinct educator for critical thinking , for posing questions about basic assumptions and accepted concepts “
– Professor Michael Head
