Social history is an area of historical inquiry considered by some to be a
social science that attempts to view historical evidence from the point of view of developing social trends and may include areas of
economic history,
legal history and the
analysis of other aspects of
civil society that
show the evolution of societal norms, behaviors and moires. It is distinguished from
political history,
military history and the so-called
history of great white men, while proponents of
History from below and the French
annales School of historians have considered themselves part of Social History it is seem as a much broader movement among historians in the development of
historiography of approaches it tries to see itself as a synthetic form of
history not limted to the statement of so-called historical fact but willing to
analysis historical data in a more systematic manner.
