Here are fifty concise, entertaining histories on a broad,
eclectic range of ideas (borders, feminism), global issues
(migration, world trade), commodities (bananas, jeans), regions
(Africa, Ireland), and institutions (corporations, the World
Bank).
Lucid and irreverent, "Brief Histories of Almost Anything"
challenges common perceptions associated with the subjects by going
behind the facts. Each history has been selected from the "New
Internationalist" magazine, a leading authority on alternative
history and "Best International Coverage" winner in the "Utne
Reader" Independent Press Awards.
Edited by Chris Brazier, author of the best-selling "No-Nonsense
Guide to World History."
