That’s the animating question of Sarah Maza\u2019s Thinking About History<\/em>, a general introduction to the field of history that revels in its eclecticism and highlights the inherent tensions and controversies that shape it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Designed for the classroom, Thinking About History<\/em> is organized around big questions: Whose history do we write, and how does that affect what stories get told and how they are told? How did we come to view the nation as the inevitable context for history, and what happens when we move outside those boundaries? What is the relation among popular, academic, and public history, and how should we evaluate sources? What is the difference between description and interpretation, and how do we balance them? Maza provides choice examples in place of definitive answers, and the result is a book that will spark classroom discussion and offer students a view of history as a vibrant, ever-changing field of inquiry that is thoroughly relevant to our daily lives.<\/p>\n

“Essential.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

David Brown, Elizabethtown College<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMaza has finally provided us with a strong synthetic and contemporary work that reflects the development of historical writing over the last few decades. Nothing out there combines the accessibility and range of Thinking About History<\/em>; it is a literate, current, and inviting survey. Maza successfully captures the complexity of issues that have teased historians over the centuries. She raises the right questions, discusses the right scholarship, and engages with the right fields. Thinking About History<\/em> is a model of concise and reflective historiographical coverage and the best synthesis of its kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allan Megill, University of Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMaza offers many intelligent reflections on how history is\u00a0\u2018done\u2019 these days, after a period of fifty years or so during which historians have rethought their practice of the discipline. She also gives her readers an excellent crash course in the various different schools of, or approaches to, history that have emerged in that time.\u00a0Thinking About History<\/em>\u00a0is the best concise overview of Western historiography over this period that I know of.\u201d<\/p>\n
