Please read Merriman, 163-178 and the selection by Fernand Braudel handed out in class and also available at the link below. Notice that the Merriman reading is fairly light but Braudel is lengthy and dense with information, so plan accordingly. For homework, please write a paragraph describing what the Annales school is, and how it fits into the historiographical trends discussed this week in class. (a brief internet search should provide you more than enough info.) Have a great weekend. I'll be busy reading your drafts.
