In this stimulating and highly original study of the writing of
American history, twenty-four scholars from eleven European
countries explore the impact of writing history from abroad. Six
distinguished scholars from around the world add their
commentaries.
Arguing that historical writing is conditioned, crucially, by the
"place" from which it is written, this volume identifies the
formative impact of a wide variety of institutional and cultural
factors that are commonly overlooked. Examining how American
history is written from Europe, the contributors shed light on how
history is written in the United States and, indeed, on the way
history is written anywhere. The innovative perspectives included
in "Historians across Borders" are designed to reinvigorate
American historiography as the rise of global and transnational
history is creating a critical need to understand the impact of
place on the writing and teaching of history.
This book is designed for students in historiography, global and
transnational history, and related courses in the United States and
abroad, for US historians, and for anyone interested in how
historians work.
