Citizen Historian: Explorations in Historiography (Publications of the Sydney Association for Studies in Society and Culture)

This is a collection of essays on historiography written in the period between 1961 and 1994. Some of these were published in learned journals and books in Europe, India and Australia, while other appear in this book for the first time. The book starts with the role of historian in society; then in three other essays the author discusses the methods in the study of the history and state. Yet another deals with the historiography of nationalism. The book ends with an essay on 'autobiography as history.'
