Summary
In this work, the author describes how, following radical political changes, groups of intellectuals who have experiences and interests in common are united in their goal to justify the roles they played in the old systems and to construct or consolidate their roles1 in the new system. These efforts often result in dressed up stories and played down (auto) biographies.
