Debating Worlds is a stimulating book that appealsto a cross-disciplinaryscholarly audience and succeeds in offering a map of global narratives.Regardless of whether the collection enables us to navigate towardthe plural and universal future the editors hope for, it certainlyoffers a clear-eyed diagnosis of our present narrative condition.Running through these case studies is the necessity for allcommunitynarratives to contain a history that justifies their identity- readily apparent in the fights over community/ national history waged in political campaigns and public spheres over the world today, whether in Ukraine, India, or the United States.
