In his foreword to 'Why do Ruling Classes Fear History?' and Other Questions, Daniel Singer says of Harvey Kaye, 'As a historian he addresses his fellows, urging them to teach their students and the general public that "the present is history and nothing is gained without struggle"; in other words, that the current power relations or institutions have been forged in the past and can be reshaped today and tomorrow.'
