Doing History is a transformative approach to studying history that bridges the gap between the way history is taught in schools and the way it is studied at the university level. In recent decades, history as an academic discipline has undergone a significant transformation, benefiting from ideas from various other fields and the influence of postmodernism. Historians have also incorporated their personal reflections into their work, enhancing the depth and richness of historical analysis.
Doing History explores the core ideas and debates that shape the way we approach history today. It delves into questions such as the nature of historical knowledge, the purpose of historical writing, and whether we can ever truly know what happened in the past. The book also examines the sources that historians rely on and the relative value of popular and academic histories.
This revised edition of Doing History includes new chapters on public history and activist histories, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to studying history at an academic level. It explores global representations of the past across centuries and offers valuable suggestions for further reading. The book is designed to be accessible and well-structured, making it an essential resource for all students embarking on the study of history.
By adopting a multidisciplinary approach and incorporating personal reflections, Doing History offers a fresh perspective on historical analysis. It encourages students to think critically and engage with historical sources in a deeper way, helping them to develop a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of the past. Whether you are a student, researcher, or simply interested in history, this book provides a valuable roadmap for exploring the rich and complex field of history.
