The historian Jim Sharpe, in Peter Burke's book New Perspectives on Historical Writing, warns that without context, history from below can become a casual definition of isolated cases devoid of any real significance. Sharpe argues that this form of historical scholarship needs to be concretely linked to its place in history (e.g. its antecedents, consequences, etc) in a manner similar to what anthropologists call "thick description".
