James Belich, John Darwin, Margret Frenz, and Chris Wickham, editors. The Prospect of Global History
James Belich, John Darwin, Margret Frenz, and Chris Wickham’s book The Prospect of Global History is the fruit of the conference “New Directions in Global History,” held in 2012. It brings together four conceptual pieces and seven historical essays. The introduction provides the conceptual cornerstone by identifying three global approaches: comparative history, connectedness, and the study of globalization. Comparative history is portrayed as the…
Latin America in Global History
World history can be arranged into three major regional divergences: the 'Greatest Divergence' starting at the end of the last Ice Age (ca. 15,000 years ago) and isolating the Old and the New Worlds from one another till 1500; the 'Great Divergence' bifurcating the paths of Europe and Afro-Asia since 1500; and the 'American Divergence' which divided the fortunes of New World societies from 1500 onwards. Accordingly, all world regions have confron…
Thinking History Globally
Criticism of comparative histories led historians such as Bénédicte Zimmerman and Michael Werner, Sanjay Subrahmanyam and Serge Gruzinski, and Huri İslamoğlu-İnan and Peter C. Perdue to formulate the alternatives to histoire croisée (entangled history), connected history, and shared histories, respectively. None of these relational approaches became widely established and institutionalized in the ways that the other cross-boundary branches are wi…
Thinking History Globally
The Roman monarchy established by Romulus was overthrown by a revolution in 509 BCE. The ensuing Roman republic witnessed subsequent quarrels between patricians and plebeians. The strife came to a pause 60 years later as the Roman constitution offered a compromise. The laws were carved on 12 bronze tables. The Law of the 12 Tables, representing the core of the mos maiorum , or way of the elders, was posted in the Roman Forum for all to know. Thes…
Thinking History Globally
Historical sociology and civilizational studies are among the very first attempts to think globally about history. Sociology emerged as a field of history trying to make sense of the transformation beyond recognition brought about by the “twin revolutions”: the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. The comparative method was at the core of this effort, with Marx comparing modes of production, Émile Durkheim comparing traditional and mo…

The Arabic Origins of Romance Private Documents
The Christians who lived under Muslim rule in al-Andalus are known as Mozarabs. As immigrants from al-Andalus to the Christian kingdoms in the north, Mozarabs are depicted in current historiography as transmitters of Arabic and Muslim culture. Nevertheless, when the Mozarabs were observed by the Christian expansion southward, surprisingly, they are presented as isolated amidst the post-conquest order. Based on the case of Toledo, the first import…
