I dunno, the only recent-ish historiographer that I remember from uni, because he fits, happens to count N. Ferguson amongst his politically disaligned fans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Hobsbawm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Hobsbawm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_tradition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_tradition >Outside his academic historical writing, Hobsbawm wrote a regular column about jazz for the New Statesman (under the pseudonym Francis Newton, taken from the name of Billie Holiday's communist trumpet player, Frankie Newton). He had become interested in jazz during the 1930s when it was frowned upon by the Communist Party. The gentrification-skeptic before the gentrification!
