ePub For Love of the Prophet: An Ethnography of Sudan's Islamic State by Noah Salomon in History

Description

A monumental history of the nineteenth century; The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jürgen Osterhammel; an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century; moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era; presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century;" taking readers from New York to New Delhi; from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion; from the perils and promise of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic; tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph; the steamship; and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature; looks at the importance of cities; explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations; challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state; and much more.This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book; which is also being translated into Chinese; Polish; Russian; and French. Indispensable for any historian; The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch; showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century; yet how it also gave rise to pacifism; liberalism; the trade union; and a host of other crucial developments.
