Abstrakt: | The present book (as a historiographical monograph) deals with history
of East-Central Europe (ECE) as practiced by academic historians in the
USA. Its aims are twofold. Firstly, it is a theoretical treatise that strives
to work out a broad, systematic and encompassing conceptualization of all the
topics related to the area of study mentioned above. Secondly, it is an attempt
at source-based research investigating the issue which (according to the results
of the aforementioned theoretical reflection) seems to be a necessary starting
point for any serious historiographical study on American history of ECE.
Therefore, in the first chapter the Author identifies major research questions,
as well as research strategies related to the discussed field of study. While
discerning the two of its basic dimensions (a subjective one and an objective
one), he discusses the utility of various kinds of historiographical source
materials as well as possible temporal limits for the investigation. In the second
chapter the Author systematically reconstructs an image of ECE outlined
within academic textbooks and syntheses o f European history published in the
USA between the last decades of 19lh century and the outbreak of World War I,
while in the third one he deals with the same image provided by textbooks and
syntheses written between the two world wars (1918-1939).
The study shows that although a theme of ECE remained a definitely minor
one for US scholars writing academic historical textbooks and syntheses of
European history, its actual position was evolving significantly in the course
of time. Two dimensions of this observation are being discerned: (1) ECE was
gaining prominence when the authors were moving from a more distant past
toward the present; (2) the authors writing during the mid-war period tended
to offer a distinctly broader treatment of ECE than their predecessors in case
of each historical epoch. |
