Writing the Nation Reviews

'This is a fine work for introducing new historians to historiography and its nuances and complexities... Writing the Nation affirms the importance of history, not simply as a field of study, but also as an act, political or otherwise, that is crucial to the rationalising of socio-political economic formation in the modern age, and possibly before.' - Maghan Keita, English Historical Review
