Overview
Western historians continue to adopt social history techniques such as analyzing census documents, union archives, voting records, and patterns of mobility and urban growth. Interdisciplinary approaches have also emerged, most notably those drawing upon contemporary cultural theory to explore the region's past. Nevertheless, the persistent reluctance of many American historians to engage western history's broader themes in their work continues to cloud the future of social and cultural history. Here, Mitchell looks at recent works of several historians that point to the enduring strength of social and cultural history methodologies in the West.
