A global history from per history to the twenty first century
Lss
Stafberry
Anos from the author to the reader
Ours is a time of problems of gigonic problems
Everything is being transformed under the magic influence of science and technology
And every day if we want to live with open eyes
We have a problem to study to resolve by pope pills
Six eigheighenth nineteen sixty nine
Why a twenty first century global history
Each age writes its own history
Not because the earlier history is wrong
But because each age faces new problems
Asks new questions and six new answers
This precept is self evident today with a temple of change is increasing exponentially creating a correspondly urgent need for new history
Posing new questions and offering new answers
Our own generation for example was brought up on west oriented history
A natural soul in a west dominated world
The nineteenth and early twenty century were an era of western aggermany in politics and economics and in culture
But the two world hars and the ensuing colonial revolutions quickly ended that her germany as evidence by the disappearance of the great european empires from the maps of the world
The names in the colors on those maps changed ratically reflecting the new world that are emerged by the mid twentieth century
Slowly and reluctantly
We recognize that our traditional weoriented history was irrelevant and misleading in this world
A new global perspective was needed to make sense of the altered circumstances
The transition from the old to the new was achieved obey with much so searching and acrimony by the nineteen sixties
The reality of the shift was evident in the emergence of the world history association
In the appearance of the journal of world history and in the publication of the first edition of this text
This brings us back to our original question
Why publish a new edition for the twenty first century only a few decades after the first edition
The answer is the same as the answer given to justify the first edition namely a new world
Requires a correspondenly new historical approach
The post colonial world of the nineteen sixties necesalated a new global history
Today
The equally new world of the nineteen nineties and of the twenty first century requires an equally new historical approach
The new world of the nineteen sixties was in large part
The product was the colonial revolutions
The new world of the nineteen nineties as pope appeous six noted is the product of the magic influence of science and technology
The per saveness of this influence is evident in the gigiganic problems
It has created in all aspects of our lives for example students of the late twentieth century
Doubtremember their frustration under their wooden desks
Probably wondering what protection those flimsy structures could offer against nuclear bombs
That generation of students had to phase up to not only few dangers to human life
But also to unprecedent any perior to the mother earth
Which had given birth to that life
Oceographher jack coostto has warned mankdprobably ly done more damage to the earth th the the twenty century and in all previous human mystery likewise the environmental organization world watch institute concluded in nineteen eighty nine by the ends of the next decade
The die will pretty well be cast as the world enters the twenty first first tury
The community
Ity nations either will have have allied and turned back the threatening trends or environmental deterioration and social discine integration will be feeding on each other
