  • Marxist or historical materialist historiography is a school of historiography influenced by Marxism. The chief tenets of Marxist historiography are the centrality of social class and economic constraints in determining historical outcomes. Marxist historiography has made contributions to the history of the working class, oppressed nationalities, and the methodology of history from below. The chief problematic aspect of Marxist historiography has been an argument on the nature of history as determined or dialectical; this can also be stated as the relative importance of subjective and objective factors in creating outcomes. Marxist history is generally deterministic, in that it posits a direction of history, towards an end state of history as classless human society. Marxist historiography, that is, the writing of Marxist history in line with the given historiographical principles, is generally seen as a tool. Its aim is to bring those oppressed by history to self-consciousness, and to arm them with tactics and strategies from history: it is both a historical and a liberatory project. Historians who use Marxist methodology, but disagree with the mainstream of Marxism, often describe themselves as marxist historians (with a lowercase M). Methods from Marxist historiography, such as class analysis, can be divorced from the liberatory intent of Marxist historiography; such practitioners often refer to their work as marxian or Marxian.
  • A teoria marxista da História compreende entre várias teses a teoria da História Materialista,, que foi uma proposição efetuada por Marx e que institui uma abordagem economicista para a história da Humanidade. A historiografia marxista ofereceu uma perspectiva importante para a compreensão do passado. Esta mostrou a importância das massas nos feitos históricos e mostrou que grandiosos homens hoje homenageados não fizeram a história sozinhos. Muito embora o marxismo tenha conseguido perceber as massas populares como integrantes ativos na construção da história, embora dominados ou alienados, não empregou um olhar que ia muito além das balizas teóricas e ideológicas pertinentes ao que se tinha como quase dogma entre os inspirados seguidores de Marx.
