§06§§This series seeks to focus on the politics inherent in historical thinking, professional and non-professional, promoted by states, political organisations, 'nationalities' or interest groups, and to explore the links between political (re-)education, historiography and mobilisation or identity formation. § §§ §16§§Have Marxian ideas been relevant or influential in the writing and interpretation of history? What are the Marxist legacies that are now re-emerging in present-day histories? This volume is an attempt at relearning what the "discipline" of history once knew - whether one considered oneself a Marxist, a non-Marxist or an anti-Marxist.§ §02§§Benjamin Zachariah, University of Trier; Lutz Raphael, University of Trier; Brigitta Bernet, University of Basel.§ §§ §02§Benjamin Zachariah, University of Trier; Lutz Raphael, University of Trier; Brigitta Bernet, University of Basel.
