English term

nothing much gets in our way ali ništa se ne nalazi na našem putu?

English to Serbian Social Sciences History history of the nineteenth century
Moreover if we are historians, we know that what we write can be judged and corrected only by other such strangers, to whom 'the past is another country' also. We certainly start with the assumption of our own time, place and situtation, including the propensity to reshape the past in our terms, to see what it has sharpend our eye to deiscern and only what our persepctive allows us to recognize. Nevertheless, we go to work with usual tools and materials of our trade, working on archival and other primary sources, reading an enormous quantity of secondary literature, threading our way through the accumulated debates and di agreemnts of generations of our predecessors, the changing fashions and phases of interpetation and interest, always asking questions. But nothing much gets in our way except other contemporaries arguing as strangers about a past which is no longer part of memory.
