The Prospect of Global History takes a new approach to the study of global history, seeking to apply it, rather than advocate it. The volume seeks perspectives on history from East Asian and Islamic sources as well as European ones, and insists on depth in historical analysis. The Prospect of Global History will speak to those interested in medieval and ancient history as well as modern history. Chapters range from historical sociology to economic history, from medieval to modern times, from European expansion to constitutional history, and from the United States across South Asia to China.
[A] concise, thought-provoking volume....The editors and contributors are to be congratulated with this diverse, yet methodologically uniformly rigorous, high-quality collection of articles successfully addressing various aspects pertinent to the study of globalization, comparative history, and histoire connectée. It is mandatory reading for anyone involved and/or interested in the global history project. * Markus Vink, Journal of Modern History *
The Prospect of Global History has much to offer those in the field, and I have no doubt that Osterhammel's chapter alone will be mandatory for all students of global history to read in years to come. * Alexandra Leonzini, Global Histories *
