Going Beyond Local History: the Perspective of Social and Cultural History Research (cuhk Historiography Series)
by Cheng Meibao
About This Novel
This book contains a number of essays by the author, which explore how historical research can start from specific places but go beyond the "local" to review historical narratives within the framework of the country and nation from aspects such as regional culture, ethnic identity, and Hong Kong's position in Sino-British and Southern China. Another significance of "going out of place" is also reflected in the author's use and thinking of old and new historical materials. Many articles explore how to read physical materials such as songbooks, dictionaries, drawings, and museum collections in a broader context, and discuss how, at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, digital historical materials in the Internet age have changed the objects and methods of historical research.
