Ethnohistory

Ethnohistory is the study of history through the perspectives of specific cultural groups, combining methods from anthropology and history. It seeks to understand how these groups perceive their past, emphasizing the importance of their narratives, traditions, and experiences. In the context of critical philosophy, it challenges dominant historical narratives and promotes historical relativism by acknowledging that truth can be subjective. Ethnohistory employs diverse sources, including oral histories and artifacts, to analyze causation and historical events, highlighting the complexity of human experiences and the interconnectedness of cultures.
