Descripción: New Publication Now Available!Given the diversity of empires and cultures that have existed since 1500, one might ask, “Why Europe?”Making the World Modern: an interpretation is a survey of world history that emphasizes the “rise of Europe” since 1500 in the contexts of globalization and modernization.The recently-releasedMaking the World Modern by Diana Reynolds Cordileone (Point Loma Nazarene University) considers the unusual and rapid growth of the relatively inconsequential Europe to a commanding role in world affairs. The publication then assesses the consequences of that growth in the shaping of imperialism and colonialism in the late nineteenth century.Making the World Modern: an interpretation interprets the historical origins of present-day issues such as consumerism, wealth inequality, human rights, and terrorism within the context of both universal hopes for humanity and the local legacies of globalized capitalism.Designed for today’s students, Making the World Modern includes reader-friendly pedagogical features such as figures, diagrams, key words and endnotes/references throughout.
