The beginning of a people’s history started out the critic on the national history that worked as ideology of ruling class in the 70s to the 80s. The subjects of the people’s history didn’t argue that they have to reform the history itself, but intervene in the existing mass movement as the ideology of repressed class. That is why the people’s history mean a history and doesn’t mean a history at the same time. It was defined as fusion between people’s historiography and political practice of labor movement. The people’s history follow the process of formation, division, extinction from in the mid-80s to early in the 90s. It was formed on the basis of the appearance of marxism and discontinuity to national history in the mid-80s. It spread to the public through the struggle for democracy in 1987, but division of research organization in the history department brought about division of the subjects of the people’s history. As the collapse of socialism in existence early in the 90s resulted in the appearance of the crisis of marxism, the people’s history was institutionalized and was losed its funtion that criticize the ruling ideology. The historiography about the people’s history remind us that we didn’t catch the people’s history as a theory or method on the history department and it closely related to mass movement. The subjects of the people’s history tried to change into the structure that reproduce the history department through the formation of research organization and researcher’s movement. This attempt open the way to the connecting with mass movement beyond the limit of history department. However it remain the problem that we have to realize the change of reproduction system of history department.
