Please follow the directions completely for this book review. Do not use other reviews of the book to cite answers to the question. ONLY USE THE BOOK TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW. Thank you! I am looking for somone experience in GREAT book reviews.
Provide your own analysis of Hamerow’s arguments, sources, and place in the historiography. You should divide your essay into two parts. The first (about 1/3 of your paper) should summarize the book’s main argument and contributions to the field. This is not, however, a summary of the content of the book. Rather, you want to establish what Hamerow does with his argument that sheds new light on the topic. Essentially, it is a summary of Hamerow’s argument. What is he trying to do? The second (2/3 of your paper) should be your own analysis and criticism of the argument, sources, or anything else. This second part of your paper should engage Hamerow head-on and question his analysis, sources, or place in the historiography. You want to be constructive but critical at the same time. You should consider some of the following questions: What point is Hamerow trying to make? Why is the point important? What types of historical approaches does he employ (social, cultural, economic etc.)? How does he use evidence? The best criticisms challenge the central thesis of the book or show that the author missed an important component of the story.
