Based on the author's more than 50 years of experience as a
professional historian in academic and other capacities, Being a
Historian is addressed to both aspiring and mature historians. It
offers an overview of the state of the discipline of history today
and the problems that confront it and its practitioners in many
professions. James M. Banner, Jr argues that historians remain
inadequately prepared for their rapidly changing professional world
and that the discipline as a whole has yet to confront many of its
deficiencies. He also argues that, no longer needing to conform
automatically to the academic ideal, historians can now more safely
and productively than ever before adapt to their own visions,
temperaments and goals as they take up their responsibilities as
scholars, teachers and public practitioners. Critical while also
optimistic, this work suggests many topics for further scholarly
and professional exploration, research and debate.
