Description
The period from 1945 has been one of the most intellectually fruitful in French history. Entirely new approaches to a number of fields have been developed, and the influence of French thinkers has resonated throughout the West, in many ways reformulating the approach to modern knowledge. This text traces developments in French historiography from questions of social history and global history (1945-1960s), structuralism (mid-1960s to mid-1970s), to criticism and reformulations (1980s onwards). Featuring work by Furet, de Certeau, Perrot, Braudel, Levi Strauss, Foucault, Bourdieu, Wallerstein, Duby and others, this volume illuminates the most important controversies about historical method in the 20th century. It forms part of a series which charts the evolution and development of disciplines in French thought.

Description
The New Press's four&-volume Postwar French Thought Series charts the intellectual transformations that took place in post–World War II France. Histories, the first volume in the Series, focuses on the way French thinkers reshaped the way we see and understand our past. The volume sets the work of historians associated with the Annales school into the wider context of postwar French historiography, structuralism, quantitative methods, and interdisciplinary studies. It contains selections from major foundational texts (Braudel, Labrousse, Duby, Chartier, and Wachtel) as well as works by Foucault, Lévi-Strauss, Bourdieu, and Veyne, many of them translated here for the first time.
