About What Is Public History Globally?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.
\n
\nWhat is Public History Globally? <\/em>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.<\/p>\n

Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis book will appeal to those engaging with practical history. Each chapter explores Public History whilst engaging with current critical stances. International writers, using academic contexts, clearly illustrate important differences between nations and localities, developing new aspects of Public History.\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Hilda Kean, Former Director of Public History, Ruskin College, Oxford, UK<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interrogative title poses an important question. It is answered in wonderfully diverse essays: eleven map the terrain of public history in distinct national contexts; nine examine particular methods and approaches, many across contexts; and four focus on specific sites with striking comparative or trans-national implications. This triangulation complements the editors’ intriguing and suggestive subtitle-‘working with the past in the present\u201d: the collection as a whole is considerably more than the sum of the individually impressive parts.\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Michael Frisch, Senior Research Scholar and Emeritus Professor in History, University of Buffalo, USA<\/p>\n
