Remaking the Modern World 1900–2015 – Global Connections and Comparisons: Blackwell History of the World

Autor CA Bayly
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 sep 2018
The sequel and companion volume to C.A. Bayly’s ground–breaking The Birth of the Modern World, 1780–1914, this wide–ranging and sophisticated study explores global history since the First World War, offering a coherent, comparative overview of developments in politics, economics, and society at large.
  • Written by one of the leading historians of his generation, an early intellectual leader in the study of World History
  • Weaves a clear narrative history that explores the themes of politics, economics, social, cultural, and intellectual life throughout the long twentieth century
  • Identifies the themes of state, capital, and communication as key drivers of change on a global scale in the last century, and explores the impact of those ideas
  • Interrogates whether warfare was really the pre–eminent driving force of twentieth–century history, and what other ideas shaped the course of history in this period
  • Explores the causes behind the resurgence of local conflict, rather than global–scale conflict, in the years since the turn of the millennium
  • Delves into the narrative of inequality, a story that has shaped and been shaped by the events of the last hundred years
