{"product_id":"history-from-below","title":"History from Below","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat we know as history from below has long been considered a more democratic form of history-writing and research than forms of history that have counted, sometimes by default, as elite, and therefore by implication elitist. But history from below also has a tendency towards populism: an emphasis on authenticity, on voices uncontaminated by elite narratives, and a focus on the indigenous. Apart from its having a long-standing problem of finding sources to ‘give voice’ to the underrepresented, the question as to who can write about (and therefore represent) the people below, and a possible focus, in consequence, on themes of blood, soil, and the Volk. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume explores, over nine essays and an introductory thematic essay, these tensions and dichotomies. The purpose is to bring to the foreground a long-standing danger of celebrating voices from below, perhaps uncritically at times, and therefore also of a romanticisation of those voices. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57334993650008,"sku":"9783111504643","price":85.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783111504643.jpg?v=1779278485","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/history-from-below","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
