Reading the World: An Kmtyw Perspective on World History By Kwasi Konadu
 
Reading the World combines the strength of recent scholarship and research-based monographs, the coherency of single authorship, and the presentation and somewhat narrative style of textbooks. Reading the World provides an intellectually stimulating, authoritative, and engaging history that is both concise and global in scope, and offers a readable introduction to a challenging topic. Reading the World also aims to challenge the way readers think about the histories of people and places of the globe. Konadu argues we can only begin to create a truly "world history" when the former peoples and places without history rewrite world history. Certainly, he contends, the world should constitute and make a "world history" driven by perspectives on the world rather than a Eureurasian world of perspectives."
