Cover of Professor Tony Ballantyne & Professor Antoinette Burton: World Histories from Below (ePUB)

History has traditionally privileged elites and their accomplishments.
World Histories from Below provides an antidote, placing ”ordinary” people and subordinated subjects at the heart of the themes it explores. Arguing that disruption and dissent are overlooked agents of historical change, it takes a global view of topics including political revolution, religious conversion, labour struggles and body politics.
This 2nd edition includes two additional chapters on indigenous peoples, migration and environmental histories from below. With an updated preface, this enhanced text also includes additional images and case studies to grapple with themes that have more recently come to the fore, such as populism and the environment. Offering a study of these themes from 1750 to the present day,
World Histories from Below refocuses our entire approach to teaching world history.
