George Orwell wrote that "history is written by the winners". Even
if that seems a bit too cut-and-dried, we can say that history is
always written from a viewpoint but that viewpoints change,
sometimes radically. The history of workers, women and minorities
challenged the once unquestioned dominance of the tales of great
leaders and military victories. Then cultural studies brought fresh
perspectives but those too have run their course. With
globalisation emerging as a major economic, cultural and political
force, Lynn Hunt examines whether it can reinvigorate the telling
of history. In tandem, she proposes a sweeping re-evaluation of
individuals' agency and their place in society as the keys to
understanding the way people and ideas interact. Writing History in
the Global Era is bound to shake up the discipline and break new
ground for historical studies.
