Global Passages: Sources In World History

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

This distinctive primary source reader, designed to supplement world history survey texts, has a conceptual framework that emphasizes comparative analysis by presenting foreigners' accounts of a given society alongside accounts from citizens of the same society.

These descriptions shed light on the values and beliefs of both the society being described, and those of the writer. In the words of the editors, "What observers expect to see determines what they find."

• Textual and visual primary sources explore economic behavior, civic and religious rituals, gender, generational relations, medical practices, and other aspects of life.
• The reader is organized chronologically and regionally within each time period. Pedagogical features include introductions, questions, notes, and suggested readings.
• The four editors all teach world civilizations courses and have varying specialties. Schlesinger specializes in early modern Europe; Blackwell in South Asia; Meyer in ancient history; and Watrous-Schlesinger in Latin American history.
