A Global History of Historiography

By Kenneth McAllister

The inquiry into the methods, sources, techniques, and theoretical approaches employed by historians in shaping history as an academic discipline is termed as historiography. The approach to studying history is a pivotal aspect of historiography, reflecting a shift from traditional perspectives like political, economic, and diplomatic history to more contemporary focuses on social and cultural studies. Influential historiographical approaches include gender history, ethnohistory, comparative history, environmental history, and others. This textbook attempts to understand the multiple approaches to historiography and how such approaches have practical impacts. The topics covered in it deal with the core aspects of the subject. Coherent flow of topic, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
