Question

Note to players: specific term required. The “discovery” of this group titles the first chapter of a 1978 volume on the culture of Early Modern Europe by Peter Burke. A chapter in Fritz Stern’s The Varieties of History on “History as a National Epic” excerpts from an 1846 book titled for this group by Jules Michelet. Maggie Huculak narrated a 32-hour docuseries subtitled for this group and aired by the CBC. A 1980 book titled for this group inspired a similarly-titled world history by Chris Harman and an (*) “Indigenous” counterpart by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. (10[1])An approach (10[1])named for this group, (10[1])which is often equated to “history from below” and contrasted with Great Man Theory, partly titles a book whose first chapter presents Christopher Columbus from the perspective of the Arawaks. For 10 points, name this very general group for whom a History of the United States was written by Howard Zinn. ■END■
