This book is essential reading for students and scholars of historiography, world history, and related fields interested in global, postcolonial, and feminist approaches to history writing.

Description

Over the past two decades, transnational history has become an established term describing approaches to the writing of world or global history that emphasise movement, dynamism and diversity. Writing Transnational History investigates the emergence of the ‘transnational’ as an approach, its limits, and parameters.

It focuses particular attention on the contributions of postcolonial and feminist studies in reformulating transnational historiography as a move beyond the national to one focusing on oceans, the movement of people, and the contributions of the margins. It ends with a consideration of developing approaches such as translocalism.

The book considers the new kinds of history that need to be written now that the transnational perspective has become widespread. Providing an accessible and engaging chronology of the field, it will be key reading for students of historiography and world history.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised for its readability and richness, this volume assembles leading paradigms in transnational history, particularly spotlighting gender, geopolitics, and subaltern lives. It distinguishes itself by centring previously marginalised scholarship, including feminist and Black Atlantic histories, which sharpen transnational analysis through attention to knowledge politics and power dynamics. Recommended by Professor Antoinette Burton as a vital and teachable resource.
