This article assesses the work of best-selling French historian Ivan
Jablonka by setting his work in the context of biographies of ordinary people
and by evaluating the success of his stated goal of reconciling lifewriting
with social sciences. The article attempts to explicate his methodology of
“searching for what is already found,” and considers the relevance of the critique
of historicism in general articulated by some branches of the social sciences.
It concludes that there is more to restorative biography than merely
an explanation of causality.
