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.
