El libro recoge un conjunto de artículos, anteriormente inéditos en España, agrupados en seis temas: La historia y su método. organización e instrumentos de trabajo. historia comparada y Europa. representaciones colectivas. semblanza de historiadores. la enseñanza de la Historia.

En este libro, Enrique Florescano realiza un recorrido por los sótanos del oficio del historiador, repasa la trayectoria de la narración histórica -desde que era memoria del poder hasta que se convirtió en instrumento de análisis crítico de toda la experiencia humana- e intenta responder a las recurrentes preguntas de ¿para qué se escribe la historia?, ¿cómo nace una narración histórica? y, ¿qué caracteriza a la investigación histórica de las otras formas de investigación?

This work is a completely new Historical Dictionary for Cuba (the first since 1988). It gives a comprehensive and detailed coverage and analysis of all of the key elements, factors, biographies, narratives, and treaties in Cuban history from the 1400s to the present day, with an emphasis on the decades after 1959. Historical Dictionary of Cuba, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1.000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Cuba.

The Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing contains over 800 entries ranging from Lord Acton and Anna Comnena to Howard Zinn and from Herodotus to Simon Schama. Over 300 contributors from around the world have composed critical assessments of historians from the beginning of historical writing to the present day, including individuals from related disciplines like Jürgen Habermas and Clifford Geertz, whose theoretical contributions have informed historical debate. Additionally, the Encyclopedia includes some 200 essays treating the development of national, regional and topical historiographies, from the Ancient Near East to the history of sexuality. In addition to the Western tradition, it includes substantial assessments of African, Asian, and Latin American historians and debates on gender and subaltern studies.

The contributions in this volume, a sequel to the volume published in 1986 (SiHoLS 34), treat many aspects of the history of the language sciences in Spain and in Hibero-America, from the Renaissance and ‘Siglo de Oro’ to the 20th century. Most papers were published in the journal Historiographia Linguistica; they were complemented with a few invited papers.
