The History Manifesto by Johanna Hanink
The History Manifesto by Jo Guldi and David Armitage
"The History Manifesto" is a thought-provoking exploration into the role of history and historians in addressing the long-term social, political, and environmental challenges facing the world today. It argues for a return to longue durée historical analysis, emphasizing the importance of understanding the deep roots of current issues to inform policy and public debate. The book critiques the trend towards short-termism in both historical research and contemporary policymaking, advocating for a broader, more inclusive approach to history that can offer valuable insights into the complex, interconnected problems of the 21st century. Through its compelling case for the relevance of history in shaping a better future, it challenges historians to think big and reasserts the significance of their work in the public sphere.
