Historical reenactments are dramatizations of past events using costumed actors and historical props.

This book by Mario Carretero, Brady Wagoner and Everardo Perez-Manjarrez offers an interdisciplinary exploration of this cultural phenomenon, drawing on examples from around the world.

With particular attention to its social and pedagogical functions, the book develops a robust definition of the practice, considers what methodological approaches are most appropriate, and places it alongside museums and memorial sites as an object of analysis.
