Hello all, hope you're doing well. I've been tasked with writing a historiography essay for uni, but have no idea how/where to begin. I plan on making it about Thich Quang Duc, the Buddhist monk who burned himself in protest of vitnam war. I have some good sources to use, using a history beyond the west approach and then either political or social history as well. However I just don't have much of a clue how to start writing this and how it should read? Any good suggestions about good historiography essays I could look into, preferably Vietnam based, but not essential.
Many thanks to all who read this :)
So, I can't give you an essay - it's not fair on a student to share their work without permission - but you may find this older thread useful regarding what a historiography essay is. I'd note though that the key thing here is to understand the marker's expectations - make sure you read anything they've sent you, and if it's not clear, don't be afraid to ask for clarification.
