Recensioner i media

1st edition reviews:‘With great subtlety Trevor Getz has taken a common European-focused periodization - the long nineteenth century - and turned it on its head. The text is organized according to recognizable key themes of the period, from political, economic, environmental and intellectual history. While there is plenty of interesting European history here, the book is striking in the key roles assigned to peoples of Africa, Latin America, and Asia. In sum, this is a highly readable global history of the period that belongs on the shelves and in the classrooms of every serious world historian.’
