“Writing the history of Algeria in French or the history of Tibet in Chinese cannot be trivial”.
Based on this principle, the historian Camille Lefebvre devotes a chapter of the collective work “Initiation to historical studies” to the question of languages.
A true manual for future historians, this manual explores all the tools available to researchers and in particular, languages.
