"Historians have been writing accounts of the recent past since history acquired a
modern audience, and in the last several years interest in recent topics has grown
exponentially. From Walmart to disco and from Chavez to Schlafly, books about thehistory
of our own time have beomce arguably the most exciting and talked-about part of the
discipline ; Despite this rich tradition and growing popularity, historians have engaged
in little discussion about the specific methodological, political, and ethical issues
related to writing about the recent past. The twelve essays in this collection explore
the challenges of writing histories of recent events where visibility is inherently
imperfect, hindsight and perspective are lacking, and historiography is underdeveloped"--
