Apelando a la noci???n de Walter Benjamin sobre los "escombros" de la historia y centrado en el Caribe, Pedro L. San Miguel examina la producci???n hist???rica y el pensamiento hist???rico desde sus "ruinas", su "bagazo", resaltando las paradojas y los contrasentidos de las obras, las tradiciones intelectuales y los autores que analiza. Pretende as??? distanciarse del triunfalismo que suele permear los relatos de los letrados en torno a su producci???n. Am???n de Benjamin, se inspira en figuras como Edward H. Carr, Hayden White, Michel de Certeau, ???ngel Rama, Manuel Cruz y Paul Ricoeur. De este ???ltimo emana el principio de que la "verdad" (historiogr???fica) se deriva del "deber de pensar". Por su parte, de Nietzsche toma la idea de que "mirar hacia atr???s" puede conducir a que terminemos "creyendo tambi???n hacia atr???s", con lo que el pasado termina fungiendo como mandato u obligaci???n, como una "c???rcel de larga duraci???n". Y esto impide que concibamos el futuro -en palabras de Borges- como "un jard???n de senderos que se bifurcan", como un conjunto de v???as alternas que los humanos -individual y colectivamente- podemos transitar y, tambi???n, forjar.
