social history

Branch of history that documents the living and working conditions of people rather than affairs of state. In recent years, television programmes, books, and museums have helped to give social history a wide appeal.

History became a serious branch of study in the 18th century, but was confined to ancient civilizations and to recent political and religious history. Only in the early 20th century did historians begin to study how people lived and worked in the past.

Reality, identity and empathy: the changing face of social history ... by Hunt, Tristram / Journal of Social History Partly because of further specialization and topical expansion, partly because of the distraction of the cultural turn, and partly perhaps because of partial incorporation into general textbooks, the effort do to general social histories of key areas has fallen by the wayside. Social history present and future by Stearns, Peter N. / Journal of Social History 37) Moreover, social histories of the senses have still to inform even the most innovative cultural histories--I'm thinking especially of whiteness studies--some of which suffer from an unwitting visualism that in some important ways limits their larger explanative power about the meaning of "race", the ways in which it was defined, and the depth of American racism.
