Sinopse

An essay in accessible language, edited by one of the greatest historians of the 20th century.

*The Invention of Traditions* is edited by Eric J. Hobsbawn and Terence Ranger and brings together texts by renowned international historians. These critical essays examine habits and behaviors that, for various reasons, become absorbed in some societies as if they were cultural heritages, when in reality they were created more recently for purposes that served states.

The first chapter clearly presents the distinction between custom and tradition, which is fundamental for understanding the phenomena presented in the following essays.

The texts cover Western cultures in their various aspects and help us understand how change is a natural phenomenon in all societies, even the most traditional. On the other hand, they problematize the condition of contemporary societies, which, when they break with certain traditions, end up losing certain behavioral models important to social organization.

Developed by historians, the study has a multidisciplinary dimension and invites researchers interested in expanding the discussion to other areas of the humanities. It's an erudite and rigorously researched work, yet developed with fluidity and clarity.
