Driven by the increasing importance of discussions around 'impact'
and its meaning and implications for history, The Impact of
History? brings together established and new voices to raise
relevant questions, issues and controversies for debate. The
chapters are articulated around the themes of public history, the
politics of history, the role of history in the shaping of learning
and the situation of history in the changing world of education.
While this subject is driven differently by the research bodies and
councils of different countries, similar debates about the value
and place of the academy in society are taking place in the UK, the
USA and Europe as well as in other parts of the world. Chapters
cover diverse areas of history from this perspective including:
public history national histories new technologies and the natural
sciences campaigning histories the impact agenda. This collection
is a political and intellectual intervention at a time when
scholars and readers of history are being asked to explain why
history matters and it seeks to intervene in the debates on
'impact', on education and on the role of the past in the shaping
of our future. Bringing together leading authors from a wide range
of fields, The Impact of History? is an accessible and engaging yet
polemical and thought-provoking overview of the role of history in
contemporary society.
