This volume considers the confluence of World History and
historical materialism, with the following guiding question in
mind: given developments in the field of historical materialism
concerned with the intersection of race, gender, labour, and class,
why is it that within the field of World History, historical
materialism has been marginalized, precisely as World History
orients toward transnational socio-cultural phenomenon,
micro-studies, or global histories of networks? Answering this
question requires thinking, in an inter-related manner, about both
the development of World History as a discipline, and the place of
economic determinism in historical materialism. This book takes the
position that historical materialism (as applied to the field of
World History) needs to be more open to the methodological
diversity of the materialist tradition and to refuse narrowly
deterministic frameworks that have led to marginalization of
materialist cultural analysis in studies of global capitalism. At
the same time, World History needs to be more self-critical of the
methodological diversity it has welcomed through a largely
inclusionary framework that allows the material to be considered
separately from cultural, social, and intellectual dimensions of
global processes.
