On how important it is for history to be written from below (its people) and not merely from above (government etc.). This is the well-known methodology used by Howard Zinn in his A People's History of the United States.

In this book, Kuntowijoyo brings a number of dimensions in which history can be written and need to be closely scrutinized such as oral history (read Herodotus and Gregor Schoeler), history of religion (read Karen Armstrong and Bruinessen), history of economy, social history, quantitative history, biography (read Malcolm X, Gandhi and Pramoedya), history of city (read Toynbee and Mumford), history of village, women history, cultural history (read Fernand Braudel and Jacques Barzun), history of politics, history of thought (Collingwood is a prerequisite read) and lastly mental history (on how Stalin's tyranic father and dogmatic lifestyle of priest greatly affected him and how popular art like music has a vast audience in comparison with books publication).
