How, as historians, should we 'read' a film? Histories on Screen
answers this and other questions in a crucial volume for any
history student keen to master source use. The book begins with a
theoretical 'Thinking about Film' section that explores the ways in
which films can be analyzed and interrogated as either primary
sources, secondary sources or indeed as both. The much larger
'Using Film' segment of the book then offers engaging case studies
which put this theory into practice. Topics including gender,
class, race, war, propaganda, national identity and memory all
receive good coverage in what is an eclectic multi-contributor
volume. Documentaries, films and television from Britain and the
United States are examined and there is a jargon-free emphasis on
the skills and methods needed to analyze films in historical study
featuring prominently throughout the text. Histories on Screen is a
vital resource for all history students as it enables them to
understand film as a source and empowers them with the analytical
tools needed to use that knowledge in their own work.
