This innovative textbook demystifies the subject of world history
through a diverse range of case studies. Each chapter looks at an
event, person, or place commonly included in comprehensive
textbooks, from prehistory to the present and from across the globe
- from the Kennewick Man to gladiators and modern-day soccer and
globalization - and digs deeper, examining why historians disagree
on the subject and why their debates remain relevant today. By
taking the approach of 'unwrapping the textbook,' David Eaton
reveals how historians think, making it clear that the past is not
nearly as tidy as most textbooks suggest. Provocative questions
like whether ancient Greece was shaped by contact with Egypt
provide an entry point into how history professors may sharply
disagree on even basic narratives, and how historical
interpretations can be influenced by contemporary concerns. By
illuminating these historiographical debates, and linking them to
key skills required by historians, World History through Case
Studies shows how the study of history is relevant to a new
generation of students and teachers.
