Opis

History Below the Global aims to foster an entangled knowledge of global history, and to place ‘others’ at the centre stage, to better understand the fluid world which we inhabit.

Recenzje

 “In this passionate and timely book, Lorenzo Kamel threads the needle of articulating the contours of historical epistemic justice while avoiding simplistic west/non-west binaries. Part history, part manifesto, History Below the Global is a tremendous achievement which reveals complexity and entanglement amid relations of domination. It is time, he urges, that western scholarship reflects this constitutive reality.”  

A. Dirk Moses, City College of New York, author of The Problems of Genocide
