Examining the concept of global history, the author highlights the inherent Eurocentrism that often persists, even in attempts to view national histories within broader contexts. By analyzing historical writing from the sixteenth century onward, the book explores pivotal forces such as revolution, globalization, and colonization. It advocates for a multipolar perspective and a long-term view, assessing both the strengths and limitations of global history while clarifying its significance in understanding the past.
