Beskrivning
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. This book 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.

Recensioner i media

The stakes of doing critical transnational histories have arguably never been greater. In this highly readable and teachable volume, Fiona Paisley and Pamela Scully assemble a host of paradigms and best practices drawn from recent scholarship on anglophone imperial history and colonial settler studies. Their emphasis on gender and geopolitics, mobility and subaltern lives, and the multiple worlds cross-hatched by vertical and horizontal forces distinguishes their approach and guarantees a wide range of interlocutors for years to come.
