The Impact of History?: Histories at the Beginning of the 21st Century: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Impact of History?: Histories at the Beginning of the 21st Century" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Driven by the increasing importance of discussions around impact and its meaning and implications for history, The Impact of History? brings together established and new voices to raise relevant questions, issues and controversies for debate. The chapters are articulated around the themes of public history, the politics of history, the role of history in the shaping of learning and the situation of history in the changing world of education. While this subject is driven differently by the research bodies and councils of different countries, similar debates about the value and place of the academy in society are taking place in the UK, the USA and Europe as well as in other parts of the world.

Chapters cover diverse areas of history from this perspective including:

public history
national histories
new technologies and the natural sciences
campaigning histories
the impact agenda.

This collection is a political and intellectual intervention at a time when scholars and readers of history are being asked to explain why history matters and it seeks to intervene in the debates on impact, on education and on the role of the past in the shaping of our future. Bringing together leading authors from a wide range of fields, The Impact of History? is an accessible and engaging yet polemical and thought-provoking overview of the role of history in contemporary society.

This project grew from a range of research conversations over the years in Cambridge and Manchester. It also grew from our personal experience in facing a bureaucratic process of impact narratives associated with the British research evaluation process.

This prompt was not in itself sufficient but we had the opportunity to discuss the issues with colleagues and friends during this period at the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) history lab event organized in Manchester by Catherine Feely, and through the Arts and Historical Research Council (AHRC)-funded Inequality, Social Science and History Research Network run by Pedro Ramos Pinto.

We are very grateful to the contributors who have responded so freely to our invitation and to our queries during the year 201314.

The universities of Cambridge and Manchester have kindly supported this project often through the operations of our department and college rather than through impact related activities!

A number of colleagues have been generous in their advice and friendly guidance and we would like to acknowledge in particular Peter Gatrell, Julie-Marie Strange and Simon Szreter.

Scott Anthony has been an historian/journalist at the universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Manchester, and a journalist/historian at Future Publishing, The Guardian and The Times. He has worked on a number of applied history projects stretching from exhibitions, talks and film seasons to a set of stamps, corporate speeches and political campaigning with organizations such as the British Film Institute, the Science Museum and British Airways. He is co-convener of the Public and Popular History seminar at the University of Cambridge and the Institute of Historical Research (IHR)s Public History seminar. His books include Public Relations and the Making of Modern Britain (Manchester University Press, 2012) and The Projection of Britain: A History of the GPO Film Unit (co-edited with James Mansell) (BFI, 2011).

Stefan Berger is Director of the Institute for Social Movements, Executive Chair of the Foundation Library of the Ruhr and Professor of Social History at Ruhr-Universitt Bochum. He has published widely on historiography, national identity and labour history. His books include a series of edited collections on history and nationalism entitled Writing the Nation (20082015) which built on his European Science Foundation (ESF) programme entitled Representations of the Past: National Histories in Europe. His most recent monograph The Past as History: National Histories in Modern Europe (Palgrave MacMillan, 2015, with Christoph Conrad) followed previous monographs entitled: Friendly Enemies: Britain and the GDR, 19491990 (Berghahn Books, 2010, with Norman LaPorte), Inventing Germany (Bloomsbury, 2004), Social Democracy and the German Working Classes (Longman, 2000), The Search for Normality: National Identity and Historical Consciousness in Germany since 18
