World history is currently one of the most exciting areas of
discussion amongst historians. In this book some of the most
distinguished scholars and public intellectuals in the field
present magisterial overviews and innovative approaches to the key
problems of world history. Others offer radical postmodern and
postcolonial critiques of holism, identity, and Western
"scientific" history in favor of a different kind of universalism.
The collection thus presents both the development of the field and
current lively debates within it, challenging readers to rethink
their notions about the direction, meanings, and uses of world
history.
The book is intended to stimulate lively discussion among both
teachers and students and to suggest new ways to conceptualize and
organize their study of world history. It will be welcomed by all
those interested in teaching history courses attuned to the global
era in which we live.
