Review

"Philip Curtin has written a collection of provocative and learned essays examining, from a range of viewpoints, the complex interactions of empires and local cultures."

Publisher's note

The history of the world in the past two centuries is one of Western dominance, the story of the age of European empires. THE WORLD AND THE WEST charts a new approach to world history in a European age a view centered on changing relations between the world and the West, but focusing on the ways in which people in Asia, Africa, and Indian America have responded to the overwhelming European power that existed in this period.
Written by one of the few living historians with the breadth and depth of knowledge called for by such an undertaking, THE WORLD AND THE WEST eschews grand narrative and sweeping theories in favor of the "eclectic empircism" of a series of case studies. This approach reaching from such diverse case as the Maya and Yaqui of Mexico and the Ghost Dance or the cargo cults of Melanesia to the Ottoman Empire and Meiji Japan leads to a variety of different questions about relations between the world and the West in recent centuries, thus broadening our perspective on the book's underlying questions: How do human societies change through time?
