History From Below is an exciting primer, enabling "ordinary" people, non-academics, to recover their own personal and community's pasts.
Such disregard for the history of ordinary people has led to a movement for "history from below." This movement asserts that workers, women, immigrants, and ethnic and racial minorities have a history that deserves to be uncovered and made known.
Histories of the generals, the diplomats, and the politics there are plenty; histories of the people- the plain people- there are few.

 BBC Renaissance Secrets 2 Marxist History Writing History Seen From Below   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
History should be seen from below, from the standpoint of the men and women who actually did the work in any given society, not from that of politicians, landowners or business leaders, who have never been more than a tiny minority of the human race.
So: we should look at the construction-workers of Venice, not the politicians; at factory-workers in the Industrial Revolution, not at factory-owners; for that matter, at soldiers and peasants in the Russian Revolution and at their hopes and assumptions, not (or not only) at Lenin.
These people were history; political leaders were only froth on the surface of the vast sea of human reality.

But after a while, she says, she realized that the history of the Rancho Murieta area is really the distillation of just about everything that has happened in California’s history.
Early on in Rancho Murieta’s history, there was a notion that some of the area’s archaeological legacy could be preserved and displayed in a museum built inside Rancho Murieta.
West thinks a museum, some way to interpret and remember the history of this place, would be a boon to Rancho Murieta and to the Sacramento region generally.

Capital punishment and the threat of mutiny, therefore, mark the history of the Atlantic even from the outset, and demonstrate that the Europeans who sailed to the New World were far from a homogenous and unified lot.
Yet anti-imperialist and postcolonial historians, in exposing the terror and genocide the Europeans collectively inflicted upon the native populations, have tended to pass over the diversity and dissension that lie even at the heart of the colonising project.
Yet it was not always so, and The Many-Headed Hydra's "hidden history" takes in a host of strikes, mutinies, and rebellions in which disparate forces co-operated for their own ends and on their own terms, rather than labouring, divided, for the cause of European colonialism.

 The Methods and Themes of History From Below
A critical analysis into the revolutionary methods and themes of “history from below” cannot be done in isolation of “history from above”.
For, it was this notion of writing history through the eyes of those from above, which sparked the flame in social historians to consider those from below.
Social history, simply put, is the history of life in the broadest sense; the history of the everyday experiences of average men and women.

Below them was a class of lesser aristocrats or gentry who formed the local governing elites in provincial towns.
He is also withering about historians who profess to believe that Rome acquired her empire, like the British, 'in a fit of absence of mind': 'An imperialism without imperialists, a design of conquest devoid of human agency or forethought, such a notion applies neither to Rome nor to any other empire in history'.
And one should know also that this squabble over the spoils of empire was periodically subsumed by far greater struggles which threatened the existence of empire itself--struggles which found optimates and populists, senators and plebs, fighting side by side in Rome's imperial legions.

Here opera's 400-year-old history is surveyed with an eye to the politics of music drama: opera as revolutionary agent, social commentary, tool (or banned art) of tyrants.
This exceptional review of the piano's 300-year-old history convincingly demonstrates why it deserves to be crowned "king" of musical instruments.
Goodall is by turns relaxed and respectful, delighted and awed by the material he presents: the piano's ancestors, composers who reveled in its early characteristics (Mozart, Schubert), moved its development along (Beethoven), and expanded its repertoire in the 19th and 20th centuries, from Chopin through Debussy, Joplin, and jazz performers and composers.
