{"product_id":"history-from-below-brigitta-bernet-9783111504643","title":"History from Below: Between Democratisation and Populism","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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brigitta Bernet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111504646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111504643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Oldenbourg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Brigitta Bernet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46961990041855,"sku":"9783111504643","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-from-below-brigitta-bernet-9783111504643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
