 abstract={In this text, I look at “people’s history” in the perspective of the distinction between scientific research and other stories about the past. I treat scientific research as current conventions of scientism, culturally defined as true. On the other hand, stories about the past may simply be expressions of values motivated by the inconveniences of the present. I place “people’s history” in the latter stream. My reflection centres around four issues: 1. From what point of view can you think that there is something wrong with “people’s history”?; 2. Why some histories need additional clarification as histories of some specific groups and why some other histories do not need it; 3. Who is the “people’s history” about? 4. What is “people’s history” about? In the first two cases, I construct a perspective, which I use to seek answers to the next two questions. This leads me to the conclusion that the trouble with “people’s history” arises when it does not meet the criteria for historical research but is nevertheless treated as belonging to history as a scientific discipline. This is because I argue in favour of maintaining the different status of truth spoken within history as scientific discourse and the other stories about the past.},
