3. Zrod moderního světa 1780–1914: Globální spojitosti a srovnání

   4,2(7)Ohodnotit

   Vlivná a oceňovaná práce britského historika pojednává o tzv. dlouhém 19. století v globální perspektivě. Autor ukazuje, jaký vliv měly události v Asii, Africe a Jižní Americe na evropské a americké dějiny. A naopak, jaký dominový efekt měly krize jako evropské revoluce nebo americká občanská válka ve zbytku světa. Kniha neponechává stranou žádné z velkých témat 19. století, kterými jsou např. vznik moderního státu, industrializace, liberalismus, socialismus, imperialismus nebo růst světových náboženství. Je mimořádným počinem autora, že zachytil „zrod moderního světa“ nikoli jako něco, co někteří lidé způsobili jiným, znevýhodněným nebo méně schopným, nýbrž jako řadu transformací, na nichž se podílela většina obyvatel světa a k nimž přispěli ne jako pouhé trpné objekty nebo oběti úspěchu jiných, ale jako aktivní, nezávislí a tvořiví činitelé. Bayly toho nedosáhl proklamováním jednoduchého nebo zjednodušujícího vzorce, a už vůbec ne zplošťováním charakteru a vlastností populací, kultur a generací do šedé masy univerzálních „trendů“, ale přesným a nestranným popisem neobyčejného záběru lidských činů, představ a proměn. Jedná se skutečně o historii moderního světa v té nejlepší podobě.

7. A History of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific

   • Donald Denoon

   • 544 stránek
   • 20 hodin čtení

   This book provides an arresting interpretation of the history of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific from the earliest settlements to the present. Usually viewed in isolation, these societies are covered here in a single account, in which the authors show how the peoples of the region constructed their own identities and influenced those of their neighbours. By broadening the focus to the regional level, this volume develops analyses - of economic, social and political history - which transcendnational boundaries. The result is a compelling work which both describes the aspirations of European settlers and reveals how the dispossessed and marginalized indigenous peoples negotiated their own lives as best they could. The authors demonstrate that these stories are not separate but rather strands of a single history.The Blackwell History of the World Series The goal of this ambitious series is to provide an accessible source of knowledge about the entire human past, for every curious person in every part of the world. It will comprise some two dozen volumes, of which some provide synoptic views of the history of particular regions while others consider the world as a whole during a particular period of time. The volumes are narrative in form, giving balanced attention to social and cultural history (in the broadest sense) as well as to institutional development and political change. Each provides a systematic account of a very large subject, but they are also both imaginative and interpretative. The Series is intended to be accessible to the widest possible readership, and the accessibility of its volumes is matched by the style of presentation and production.
