A Global History of Modern Historiography - Paperback

by Georg Iggers (Author), Q. Edward Wang (Author), Supriya Mukherjee (Author)

The first book on historiography to adopt a comparative, global perspective on the topic, this text looks not just at developments in the West but also at the other great historiographical traditions in Asia, the Middle East, and elsewhere in the non-Western world over the course of the past two and a half centuries. This edition contains fully updated sections on Latin American and African historiography, discussion of the development of global history and feminist and gender history in recent years, and new coverage of Russian historical practices, and will also include a selection of relevant primary source materials.
