The main subject matter of Johann Arnason’s book is multiple modernities. The author discusses various theoretical approaches towards modern societies and offers an original conceptualization of historical processes. He analyzes patterns of modernity in the fields of economy, politics and culture, as well as sequences of various modernity types. Particular attention is devoted to social transformations in the Eurasian region. Arnason carefully examines the formation and historical dynamics of the Soviet and Chinese versions of “alternative” communist modernity. Finally, he discusses global modernity and the need to reconsider its trajectory in light of communist experience
