Book Description
The consequences of a devotion to history are rarely as dire as those meeting the disgraced Han historian Sima Qian who submitted to castration rather than commit suicide in order to complete China's first true history. Hopefully, students can use this reference to overcome any phobia over historiography. Women authors and those from non-Western cultures are included along with the acknowledged greats, as well as developments in interpreting history from antiquity to postmodernism. Entries--followed by cross-references, texts, references, and contributor's name--are of three types: brief biographical entries on individual historians, or works and genres not associated with one individual; longer surveys of national or regional historiographies; and topical articles on themes, periods, and -isms. Vol. 2 covers K-Z. No photos. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book Description
In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Europeans invented 'Indians' and populated the world with them. The global history of the term 'Indian' remains largely unwritten and this volume, taking its cue from Shakespeare, asks us to consider the proximities and distances between various early modern discourses of the Indian. Through new analysis of English travel writing, medical treatises, literature, and drama, contributors seek not just to recover unexpected counter-histories but to put pressure on the ways in which we understand race, foreign bodies, and identity in a globalizing age that has still not shed deeply ingrained imperialist habits of marking difference.

Book Description
This text helps students get beyond merely compiling dates and facts; it teaches them how to incorporate their own ideas into their papers and to tell a story about history that interests them and their peers. Covering brief essays and the documented resource paper, the text explores the writing and researching processes, different modes of historical writing (including argument), and offers guidelines for improving style as well as documenting sources. --From publisher's description.
