- Postcolonialism: Challenges colonial perspectives and focuses on reclaiming the narratives of colonized nations.

History and the Historian
- History is always subjective—influenced by the historian's context, perspectives, and biases.
- Historical research requires rigor and methodology to ensure reliable and validated historical claims.

Historical Sources
- Primary sources: Created at the same time as the event or subject being studied (e.g., documents, artifacts, eyewitness accounts).
