While necessarily interpreting the past, professional historians and those with a general interest alike remain tempted, consciously or not, to make American history serve their own political and moral views. There is a tendency to impose our present values on the past, and sometimes go so far as to believe the past can be changed by present action. In this volume, Ari Helo analyzes examples of this, including metahistorical narratives, Presidential speeches, and the sometimes vague rhetoric of the Confederate statue campaigns, before diagnosing the source of doing so and suggesting how we might avoid it. Taking America as its example, the book illuminates essential methodological issues related to history writing as well as deciphering the relationship of understanding between practicing historians and theorists of history in an accessible way. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of American history, historiography, American studies and cultural studies, providing a vivid account of how to make sense of American history"-- Geschichtsschreibung (DE-588)4020531-9 gnd Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd Methodologie (DE-588)4139716-2 gnd USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd United States Historiography United States Politics and government Historiography u NB 5550 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NL202005 idslu L1 zbzmon202006f wuet zbzswk202006g brue idszbz Z2 630 IDS LU IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH eh 84503 NELA1002006 IDSLU 100 1- Helo Ari Verfasser aut IDSBB 100 1- Helo Ari (DE-588)1049521412 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Helo Ari (DE-588)1049521412 Verfasser aut IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007182941/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis IDSLU ILU50 https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSLUZ/001390729/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 587751525
