Reckoning with History brings together original essays from a
diverse group of historians who consider how writing about the past
can engage with the urgent issues of the present. The
contributors-all former students of the distinguished Columbia
University historian Eric Foner-explore the uses and politics of
history through key episodes across a wide range of struggles for
freedom. They shed new light on how different groups have defined
and fought for freedom throughout American history, as well as the
ways in which the ideal of freedom remains unrealized today.
Covering a broad range of topics, these essays offer insight into
how historians practice their craft in different ways and
illuminate what it means to be a socially and politically engaged
historian.
