Class, Gender And the Vote Historical Perspectives from New Zealand

With the rise of the study of social history in the second half of the twentieth century, the focus of many historians shifted from politics, high culture and foreign policy to new areas, including health, demographics, families, crime, women and immigration. But with this new historical work came a problem that threatened coherence in the field: how to deal with the detail of so many different pasts amongst the people of New Zealand? The editors of this book set out to show that a quantitative approach to history can help to rectify this problem.Fairburn, Miles is the author of 'Class, Gender And the Vote Historical Perspectives from New Zealand' with ISBN 9781877372025 and ISBN 1877372021.
