Imperialism in the Modern World combines narrative, primary and
secondary sources, and visual documents to examine global relations
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The three co-editors,
Professors Bowman, Chiteji, and Greene, have taught for many years
global history classes in a variety of institutions. They wrote
Imperialism in the Modern World to solve the problem of allowing
teachers to combine primary and secondary texts easily and
systematically to follow major themes in global history (some
readers use primary materials exclusively. Some focus on secondary
arguments). This book is more focused than other readers on the
markets for those teachers who are offering more specialized world
history courses - one important trend in global history is away
from simply trying to cover everything to teaching real connections
in more chronologically and thematically focused courses. The
reader also provides a genuine diversity of global perspectives and
invites students to study seriously world history from a critical
framework. Too many readers offer a smorgasbord approach to world
history that leaves students dazed and confused. This reader avoids
that approach and will therefore solve many problems that teachers
have in constructing and teaching world history courses at the
introductory or upper-division levels. The reader will allow show
students how to read historical documents through a hands-on
demonstration in the introduction. The book also incorporates
images as visual documents. Finally, the book conceives of global
history in the widest possible terms; it contains pieces on
political, diplomatic, economic, and military history, to be sure,
but it also has selections on technology, medicine, women, the
environment, social changes, and cultural patterns. Other readers
can not match this text's breadth because they are chronologically
and thematically so extended.
