History in Practice.

Bog

DKK 85,00

The study of history has changed dramatically in recent decades. The swiftness and scale of the shift is indisputable, but its precise nature as well as its implications remain hotly contested. This new study has a determination to demistify what historians do. It looks at history as an academic discipline nut alos engages with the use of historical ideas in the wider world. It examines the way historians have divided up their subjects, how this has changed and with what effects. Why have certain fields such as women’s history and black history, generated such intense debates about their value and validity?
