In the parade of highlights with which many have tried to sum up
the twentieth century, the overarching patterns and fundamental
transformations often fail to come into focus. The Columbia History
of the 20th Century, however, is much more than a chronicle of the
previous century's front-page news. Instead, the book is a series
of twenty-three linked interpretive essays on the most significant
developments in modern times--ranging from athletics to art, the
economy to the environment.Rather than presenting a linear
narrative, each author uncovers patterns of worldwide change. James
Mayall, for example, writes on nationalism from the rise of
European fascism to the rise of Asian and African nations; Sheila
Fitzpatrick traces the history of communism and socialism in Moscow
and Havana. In her chapter on women and gender, Rosalind Rosenberg
covers the progress of women's rights throughout the world, from
Middle Eastern activism to the American feminist movement.
Jean-Marc Ran Oppenheim's history of sports traces the spread of
Western sports to all corners of the globe and the West's
appropriation of such activities as martial arts. In each, the
important strands of history--events, ideas, leading figures,
issues--come together to offer an illuminating look at cultural
connection, diffusion, and conflict, showing in stark relief how
this period has been unlike any preceding era of human history.
