Love this piece! Partly it’s about thinking about history as a method, I think, rather than coming up with arbitrary time cut-offs. I love the idea of being a ‘historian of the present’ which maybe has a wider usage but I remember seeing in Italian academic discussions post-WW2
Thank you!
Not that the 1990s are the present… I’ve been thinking about connecting more recent times to the 1940s in a thing I’m writing. But the 1990s are certainly history!
