Overview
W. W. Norton presents Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, a decidedly different global history of the modern world seen through a non-Eurocentric lens in which the expansion of the West was only one of many possible outcomes of the last seven centuries. Beginning with the Mongol invasions across Eurasia in the thirteenth century through the tumultuous expansion of the West into the twenty-first century, Worlds Together, Worlds Apart charts the impact of increasing global connectedness on societies and those societies’ efforts to incorporate global influences while maintaining their own traditions. Colorful accounts drive the narrative in a series of twelve globally oriented chapters, each of which discusses all the regions of the world. Taking a bold step forward, Worlds Together, Worlds Apart promises to expand the horizon of world history textbooks.
