Seymour-Smith, C. Dictionary of anthropology, 1986 (Ethnohistory (Anthropology and history are combined in ethnohistory; new developments in popular and local history stress the study of history "from below" rather than the history that is shaped by ... the dominant classes. The term "ethnohistory" also has a rather different though overlapping sense, that of the study of people's own representations of their history; these two senses of the term, the search for historical data on ethnic groups and the ethnic group's own representation of their history, may be separated by referring to the former as "historical ethnology" or "historical anthropology"))
