Challenges to the study of history have been raised by globalization and by new transformations linked to postmodernism and postcolonialism. This book puts forward new approaches in historical research that emphasize the dual processes of integration and fragmentation in a globalized world.
Challenges to the conventional study of history have been raised by the recent paradigm of globalization and by new intellectual transformations linked to postmodernism and postcolonialism. In this book the noted historian Arif Dirlik argues for a new approach to the practice of historical research. Moving beyond mere critique, he synthesizes traditional historical methods with new approaches that emphasize historical memory, indigenous writing, place based history, and the dual processes of integration and fragmentation in a globalized world.
