Across the globe, history has gone public. With the rise of the
internet, family historians are now delving into archives
continents apart. Activists look into and recreate the past to
promote social justice or environmental causes. Dark and difficult
pasts are confronted at sites of commemoration. Artists draw on
memory and the past to study the human condition and make meaning
in the present. As a result of this democratisation of history,
public history movements have now risen to prominence. This
groundbreaking edited collection takes a comprehensive look at
public history throughout the world. Divided into three sections -
Background, Definitions and Issues; Approaches and Methods; and
Sites of Public History - it contextualises public history in
eleven different countries, explores the main research skills and
methods of the discipline and illustrates public history research
with a variety of global case studies. What is Public History
Globally? provides an in-depth examination of the ways in which
ordinary people become active participants in historical processes
and it will be an invaluable resource for advance undergraduates
and postgraduates studying public history, museology and heritage
studies.
