For undergraduate or graduate courses in World History This
impressive collection of readings illustrates that the history of
the world is as much about the relationships among societies as it
is about transformations and continuities within societies.
Exchanges: A Global History Reader is designed as an introduction
to the discipline of world history. Unlike other source
collections, Exchanges helps students look beyond strictly
delineated regionalism and chronological structures to understand
history as a product of ongoing debate. Structured around a series
of interconnected themes and debates, and pairing both primary and
secondary sources, Exchanges challenges both students and teachers
to rethink history. Praise for Exchanges: A Global History Reader
The authors have successfully produced a text that will allow
students to explore the ways in which historical writing has
generated important debates about world history.... It offers a
rich and diverse compilation of reading materials that provide
students with ideas about world history, but also with models of
historical writing.... Moreover, it offers examples from a wide
range of geographical areas, something that will help broaden the
horizons of the average student. --Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia,
Montclair State University The method of placing competing
narratives side by side is one of the best strategies for
demonstrating the nature of history as an interpretation.... I am
very excited about the possibilities that this text could provide
for transforming my World Civilizations course. An attentive
student will find his or her basic assumptions challenged on every
page, and it is this kind of intellectual transformation that I
seek to facilitate as a teacher. --Carolyn R. Dupont, Eastern
Kentucky University I think this textbook goes a long way toward
helping students to think more deeply and more historically about
the state of the world today.... The fact that the book is focused
upon the five big questions of world history is a great plus. Too
many world history readers have a diffuse focus and don't really
add up to a book that promotes sustained, focused inquiry. --Mark
Jones, Central Connecticut State University I would describe the
book as an introduction to being a world historian. Through a
selection of thematic case studies, students are able to compare
theories, test historians' interpretations against the primary
evidence, and access the range of material that allows them to
develop their own interpretations of the worlds they inhabit and
inherit. --Lesley Mary Smith, George Mason University Exchanges
focuses more than any other reader on the interconnectedness of
regions and the debates pertaining to the new world history.... The
authors successfully demonstrate that history is contested to this
day. Not only is this a more accurate portrayal of historical
scholarship than most readers provide, it is also more interesting
for the students, who are more likely to appreciate history if they
see it as contested, often for reasons closely connected with the
state of the world today. --A. Martin Wainwright, University of
Akron
