520 Recent history--the very phrase seems like an oxymoron.
Yet historians have been writing accounts of the recent
past since printed history acquired a modern audience, and
in the last several years interest in recent topics has
grown exponentially. With subjects as diverse as Walmart
and disco, and personalities as disparate as Chavez and
Schlafly, books about the history of our own time have
become arguably the most exciting and talked-about part of
the discipline. Despite this rich tradition and growing
popularity, historians have engaged in little discussion
about the specific methodological, political, and ethical
issues related to writing about the recent past. The
twelve essays in this collection explore the challenges of
writing histories of recent events where visibility is
inherently imperfect, hindsight and perspective are
lacking, and historiography is underdeveloped. Those who
write about events that have taken place since 1970
encounter exciting challenges that are both familiar and
foreign to scholars of a more distant past, including
suspicions that their research is not historical enough,
negotiation with living witnesses who have a very strong
stake in their own representation, and the task of working
with new electronic sources. Contributors to this
collection consider a wide range of these challenges. They
question how sources like television and video games can
be better utilized in historical research, explore the
role and regulation of doing oral histories, consider the
ethics of writing about living subjects, discuss how
historians can best navigate questions of privacy and
copyright law, and imagine the possibilities that new
technologies offer for creating transnational and
translingual research opportunities. Doing Recent History
offers guidance and insight to any researcher considering
tackling the not-so-distant past.
