First biography of a major anarchist thinker Draws on untapped
archival primary sources and family records More interest in
anarchist ideas as mutual aid has become more prevalent
Since the turn of the twenty-first century, family history is the
place where two great oceans of research are meeting: family
historians outside the academy, with traditionally trained, often
university-employed historians. This collection is both a testament
to dialogue and an analysis of the dynamics of recent family
history that derives from the confluence of professional historians
with family historians, their common causes and conversations. It
brings together leading and emerging Australian and New Zealand
scholars to consider the relationship between family history and
the discipline of history, and the potential of family history to
extend the scope of historical inquiry, even to revitalise the
discipline. In Anglo-Western culture, the roots of the discipline's
professionalisation lay in efforts to reconstruct history as
objective knowledge, to extend its subject matter and to enlarge
the scale of historical enquiry. Family history, almost by
definition, is often inescapably personal and localised. How, then,
have historians responded to this resurgence of interest in the
personal and the local, and how has it influenced the thought and
practice of historical enquiry?
