Examine new trends in the writing of new historyand what they mean to information science!
History has been devalued, causing a lack of career prospects for historians, a decrease in vocations to the history profession, and historical discontinuity between generations. History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline is a recap of the crucial Second International Historia a Debate conference, held on July 17, 1999 in Santiago de Compostela. This book details the comparative critical perspectives on history, historians, their audiences, and the coming trends that will inevitably impact information science. The in-depth examination provides innovative approaches to historians as they redefine their discipline in relation to the global society of the new millennium while presenting invaluable insights for librarians, social scientists, and political scientists.
History Under Debate: International Reflection on the Discipline examines how the writing of history in the twenty-first century is revitalized by international comparative historiography, thanks to new technologies and the multinational integration processes in economy, politics, culture, and academics. The first section discusses the Historia a Debate (HaD) Forum and Movement, detailing the need for change to restore history as a vital global subject in modern times. The remainder of the book consists of reflective and comparative views on the study of history and historiography as well as history in and about Spain and its relation to the rest of the world. The book explores new ways for moving the discipline beyond sources and source criticism alone to a different concept of the historical profession as a science with a human subject that discovers the past as people construct it. Included in this book is the English translation of the HaD Manifestoa proposal designed to unify historians of the twenty-first century and ensure a new dawn for history, its writings, and its teachings.

Preface Historiography As a Primary Source
I learned about the international forum Historia Debate after the July 711,1993, conference in Santiago de Compostela, when its acta were published in 1995. Professor Carlos Barros, the editor and founder of HaD, started a listserv that has attracted more than 1,600 discussants from twenty-five countries who daily debate issues of historiography, historical methods, the philosophy of history, and increasingly the predicaments historians find themselves in, their careers, and the political circumstances of higher education in Europe and developing countries, primarily Latin America. This was an interesting discussion group which attracted my attention partially because of my own interests in Hispanic culture, but more broadly because of its broad scope, international cross-border dialogue, tenor and zeal, commitment to the survival of History in an increasingly ahistorical world, and attempt to recover from post-Postmodernism while not reverting back in overreaction to a totally empirical position or passivity in the name of objectivity.
While I browse the Listserv and read intermittently as time permits in the ongoing electronic dialogue, I perceive myself to be somewhat of a voyeur more than real participant. I do not relate well to the politicization of academe reflected in so many of the communications; I am critical of some positions taken, especially radical revisionism less founded on History than on current events, contemporary reaction, and expediency for self-identity; and I am skeptical of the ambiguity and sweeping generalizations too often made in the discourse across the Internet and even in exchanges at the HaD conferences. Despite my reserve because of the Marxist tones, anti-capitalism which often becomes anti-American in Latin American critiques, and the edge in too much of historians' writings that move with self-proclaimed authority into contemporary criticism, I do realize that there is a counterpart in the HaD dialogue to a similar discussion in Anglo-American circles about the future of education and the call for the professorate to commitment and devotion to active learning, student involvement, or what is often styled as engagement. In the United States, this is commensurate with new forms of quality assessment in higher education, focusing less on inputs and more on outputs or, now, outcomes.
