History and Ethnicity - Routledge Library Editions: Historiography
These essays examine the importance of historical consicousness and the role of historiography in ?ethnic? situations, exploring the many ways in which ethnic groups select history, write or rewrite it, rescue appropriate or ignore it, forget or traduce it. Drawing on expert knowledge of regions ranging from the Amazon to contemporary Germany, the contributors bring anthropological and historical understanding to answer these questions, and investigate major topics such as the relationship between ethnic, national and state identifications, and the cultural work of creating them. Examples include Afrikaaners and Northern Ireland Protestants, as well as Mormons and Catalans. Bringing together a variety of themes that have recently become the focus of study ? ethnicity, the uses and nature of history and the likelihood of objectivity in historical telling ? the book will be of great interest ot students in the social sciences, anthropology, politics, history and international relations.
