Historians have long utilized archaeology, ethnography, historical linguistics, and oral traditions in their study of the continent, but are only beginning to explore the possibilities of genetics or many of the techniques used by modern archaeology and other emerging sciences. And as digital sources-from historical documents and statistics to cartographic, climatic, demographic, and environmental modeling-proliferate, so do the problems in using them. The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Historiography: Methods and Sources examines how these developments have influenced the scholarship that historians produce. Such methods continue to evolve, demanding that historians develop basic understandings of them. Thus, the two-volume Encyclopedia builds a theoretical foundation for the field, expanding the ways that Africa can be studied, and recovering the histories of the continent that often appear outside of the documentary record."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a History $x Sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958295 650 7 $a Methodology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01018722 651 0 $a Africa $x Historiography $v Encyclopedias. 651 0 $a Africa $x Sources $x Sources $v Encyclopedias. 651 0 $a Africa $x Methodology $x Methodology $v Encyclopedias. 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 655 7 $a Encyclopedias. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423798 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Spear, Thomas T., $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025936.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFE2073C0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
