Hobsbawm & Ranger

Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger are influential historians who study how societies and cultures develop over time. Hobsbawm, a British Marxist historian, focused on modern history and the economic and social changes shaping societies from the 18th to 20th centuries. Ranger is a British scholar specializing in African history, especially in southern Africa, exploring how identities, traditions, and struggles for independence evolve. Together, their work helps us understand how historical processes, cultural identities, and social movements influence contemporary world societies.
