History from below
History from below is a concept of historical narrative in social history, which focuses on the perspectives of ordinary people, rather than political and other leaders. The term was coined by French historian Georges Lefebvre (1874–1959) and was popularised by British Marxist Historians during the 1960s.
This school of history was among the first to have a sympathetic approach to peasants and working class people.
