The Global History Reader (Hardcover)

Global history is a fast growing area of historical study. With the acceleration of the age of globalization in the twentieth century, we have been able to view the world across national boundaries. From the speed of electronic communications and the coverage of global news to the proliferation of 'ethnic' restaurants, globalization is situated directly in our everyday lives, and affects our perceptions of world events. It also has a major impact on how we should study the history of the world, and this reader shows how that can be put into practice.
Drawing together a wide international range of contributors, this ground-breaking work presents an important collection of essays to set globalization in its historical context. Thematic in focus, these essays also draw on perspectives from other disciplines, such as anthropology and development studies. The reader uses global history to view the history of the world through key themes that transcend national boundaries, such as terrorism, the environment, human rights, the information revolution and multinational corporations.
"The Global History" "Reader" is essential reading for all students with an interest in learning more about this definitive new area of historical study.
