about a recent book dealing with the past and future of the practice
of history. Six featured reviews are followed by our extensive book

Cover Illustration: This
march with puppets, which took place in Rostock, Germany, in June
2007, was held to protest the Group of Eight (G8) Summit, under way
in the nearby city of Heiligendamm. The colorful scene was intended
to attract attention to the concerns of the protesters, including
environmental and trade issues. While such political demonstrations
clearly took place outside as well as within Europe, the Rostock march
is representative of informal political protest as it developed in
Europe throughout the postwar era. In Whats Left? Popular
Political Participation in Postwar Europe, Belinda Davis claims
that these patterns of popular protest should be better written into
the political history of that continent, and that such activity was,
over time, critical to the ascendancy of particular European
values. She notes at the same time that the particularities
of postwar European history generated political responses, informally
as well as formally, that often represented an uneasy fit with conventional
modernist political terminology. Image reproduced courtesy of the
