DescriptionsEdit Descriptions
- Editors: Susan Porter Benson, Stephen Brier, and Roy Rosenzweig"Critical Persepctives on the Past is concerned with the traditional and nontraditional ways in which historical ideas are formed. In its attentiveness to issues of race, class, and gender and to the role of human agency in shaping events, the series is as critical of traditional historical method as content. Emphasizing that history is itself an interpretation of material events, the series demonstrates that the historian's choices of subject, narrative technique, and documentation are politically as well as intellectually constructed."From the Temple University Press series page (English, Unclassified)
