In the Indonesian contemporary historiography study, the approach of oral history is important. In contemporary history, oral history is used to explore sources and collect data and facts. One of the examples is the study of Female Political Prisoners in Plantungan Camp due to the movement of 30 September 1965. Through the approach of oral history, the violence, trauma, and stigma toward female political prisoners can be revealed. This research intends to reconstruct the story of female political prisoners in Plantungan Camp, Kendal, Central Java. The Camp was formerly functioned as a concentration camp of female political prisoners who were involved in "Gerakan 30 September 1965."

In this article, the author presents a historiography that considers the leadership that African American women, particularlymothers, played in U.S. school desegregation. Discussion moves beyond offering a political analysis of school integration politicsthat is male centered, bounded by a legalistic frame, or steeped within general discussions of the political clashes betweenintegrationists and segregationists to recast significant historical events through a more nuanced womanist lens. Literature isreviewed and archival data from 1954 to 1971 are marshaled to shed light on why and how African American motherscontributed to the school desegregation movement, particularly in Greensboro, NC. The author suggests what lessons can begleaned from the mothers' legacy to extend conceptualizations of transformative educational leadership.

If the French faced the 200th anniversary of the Napoleonic Empire with some trepidation about how to commemorate the infamous Corsican, the British celebrated the Battle of Trafalgar as an enduring national victory. A grand exhibit in the National Maritime Museum in London, "Nelson and Napoleon," observed this event in 2005. In contemporary Germany, however, the commemoration of 1806 has occurred mainly among small circles of specialists and remained largely absent from popular historical consciousness. In recent times, besides the exhibition on the Holy Roman Empire in the German Historical Museum in Berlin, only small local exhibits and substantial articles in magazines like Die Zeit and Der Spiegel recall 1806. Past momentous occasions such as 1848, 1914–1919, 1933–1945, and 1949 clearly overshadow in contemporary historical memory the tumultuous decades that surrounded the Napoleonic Wars. This tendency to overlook and underestimate the significance of the early nineteenth century also remains evident among scholars who work on later periods of German history. In the shadow of World Wars and the Holocaust, the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars between 1792 and 1815 seems distant to the contemporary audience. But why do historians also tend to disregard the importance of this era of warfare and domestic, social, and economic transformation—a period so rich in complexity—and its enduring consequences for nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe?

The article examines the Soviet literature on the role of Social Democrats in the Chita armed uprising during the First Russian Revolution. As a result of the analysis of historiographical sources of the 1920–1980s, the au-thor reveals the facts of the clear predominance of ideological and didactic tasks in them. This was determined by the necessity to propagandize the traditions of the Communist Party and the experience of the class struggle for the ideological education of the masses. At the same time, the assessment of the Bolshevik leadership of the uprising did not exclude scientific interests, which began to appear at the last stage of Soviet historiography. In the 1960–1980s the issue of the completeness of the seizure of power in Transbaikalia was addressed, the functions of the revolutionary organs of the uprising were considered, but the conclusions about the outstand-ing role of the Leninist Party in it remained unchanged. As a result, the author concludes that the topic re-mained unfinished in the Soviet period of historiography and requires its further study on the problems defined in this article.

Within the Marxist tradition historiography has played a particularly significant role in guiding as well as legitimating political choice. Two differing frameworks of historical analysis may be derived from Marx, one involving universal stages of social development, the other closely associated with the concept of the Asiatic Mode of Production (AMP), assuming the existence of alternative paths of historical development. In Russia the Bolshevik faction derived their political program from the former historiographical position, while G. Plekhanov & the Mensheviks took as their first political priority the need to combat the peculiarity & 'Asiatic' character of the Russian historical heritage. This can be seen in the debate over rationalization of land at the 'Unity' Congress of Russian social democracy in 1906. Despite the Bolshevik victory a new historiographical challenge emerged from 1925 on the part of Comintern officials active in China. They believed that Chinese history had been characterized by the AMP, & that therefore the Chinese national bourgeoisie was only a weak offshoot of Western imperialism, incapable of any positive role in a democratic revolution.
