Reviews

"This book is history here, now and out loud. It buzzes, capturing the energy and discomforts of making history in a world where more is said about the past outside of universities than in."Marnie Hughes-Warrington, Australian National University, Australia"This is an original, timely and thought-provoking intervention into contemporary discussions on the 'impact' of academic history, and into broader debates about the value of the humanities. The editors have assembled a strong cast of contributors who write accessibly and authoritatively. Essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of history."Patrick Finney, Aberystwyth University, UK
