The International Reader: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Current
Events and Global Issues provides students with diverse insights
into major world regions and an array of complex topics and current
events. The book is organized into chapters on each of the six
major world regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the
Middle East, and Oceania. It features an extensive vocabulary,
regional maps, and a list of countries in each region. The
anthology employs an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging
students to question, discuss, and analyze global issues across a
range of disciplines and fields of study. Topics addressed include
the recent surge of populism in Europe, the effects of climate
change in Oceania, Islamist extremism in East Africa, the
remittance economy in the Middle East, the economic and migrant
crisis in Venezuela, and more. The newly revised first edition
features new content on poverty and colonialism in Africa, cuteness
as Japan's millennial product, authoritarianism in Egypt, the
ongoing legacy of colonialism in Australia, and the confluence of
sustainability and social justice issues. The International Reader
is an ideal resource for courses in global/international studies,
anthropology, sociology, geography, social studies, women's
studies, and political science.
