The construction of history. Who are we? Bobkova M.

What is identity? How, by whom, on the basis of what and why are social identity formed? What types of communities exist in history, and how are they determined? The research presented in the book answer these and many other questions, reflecting a completely new level of development of modern historical science. It reflects several temporary clusters of world history, which contain a number of research strategies of the past. They allow the reader to identify a variety of design of the construction of generic, ethnic, cultural, religious, political, state community. The knowledge of the mechanisms of the identity of others in time and the space of societies is certainly necessary for understanding your own “I”, your time and place of history in it.
