The Background, Development and Problems of Public History in China Jiang Meng
Abstract
This article traces the origins and development of public history in China, from its roots in historical memory
in pre-modern times, through its role in shaping the nation in the period of modernization, to the emergence of
histories of everyday life and popular histories in China today. It raises questions about what is public history in
contemporary China, particularly the relationship between popular and academic history and the formalization
of the field as seen in new institutions and a new journal.
