This introduction to contemporary historical theory and practice
shows how issues of identity have shaped how we write history.
Stefan Berger charts how a new self-reflexivity about what is
involved in the process of writing history entered the historical
profession and the part that historians have played in debates
about the past and its meaningfulness for the present. He
introduces key trends in the theory of history such as
postmodernism, poststructuralism, constructivism, narrativism and
the linguistic turn and reveals, in turn, the ways in which they
have transformed how historians have written history over the last
four decades. The book ranges widely from more traditional forms of
history writing, such as political, social, economic, labour and
cultural history, to the emergence of more recent fields, including
gender history, historical anthropology, the history of memory,
visual history, the history of material culture, and comparative,
transnational and global history.
