内容简介
· · · · · ·
What distinguishes history as a discipline from other fields of study? That’s the animating question of Sarah Maza’s Thinking About History, a general introduction to the field of history that revels in its eclecticism and highlights the inherent tensions and controversies that shape it.
Designed for the classroom, Thinking About History 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.

中英文版夹杂着看完的
非常棒的入门书，才发现原来有繁体的中译本。本书围绕历史学科的基本问题展开，非常适合社会学的学子反过来理解历史学在研究什么，作者也常提及历史社会学的著作。本书也涉及到很多入门书不会提及的反身性的问题，比如关于谁的历史，历史研究的建构问题， 追求理解意义还是因果解释等。
