Double-weighted statement
This book is the outcome both of extensive research into various forms of history writing since 1750, and of over a decade of reflection on the history and historiography of empire and on current debates about historical practice. It juxtaposes popular, scholarly, and educational history texts, and embeds them in a conceptual and methodological analysis linking developments in the historical discipline to the social, cultural, and political context in which they took place. It draws not just on recent research, but on long experience within three distinct fields of historical enquiry, imperial, gender, and Middle Eastern history.
