In recent years, historians from various corners of the world have embarked on a quest to transnationalize and globalize their perspectives on the past. Despite these valiant efforts to acquire fresh global historical visions, the debates surrounding this movement have remained relatively provincial in scope. To address this gap, Global History, Globally offers a comprehensive survey of the state of global history in different world regions. The book is divided into three distinct but interwoven sections, each providing a regional survey of the practice of global history on all continents, reviewing some of the research in four core fields of global history, and considering a range of challenges that global historians have encountered in their work.

The authors of this book hail from diverse world regions and are themselves prominent global historians. Collectively, they offer an unparalleled survey of what is currently the most dynamic field in the discipline of history. As one of the first books to systematically discuss the international dimensions of global historical scholarship and address a multitude of questions arising from them, Global History, Globally is a must-read for all students and scholars of global history.

The authors examine the historical experiences, perspectives, and methodologies of global historians in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America. They explore how global historians have approached the study of transnational connections, cultural exchanges, and global processes, and how they have integrated local and global narratives into their work.

The second section of the book reviews some of the research in four core fields of global history. The authors discuss the study of imperialism, globalization, world wars, and the Cold War, and how global historians have approached these topics from a transnational perspective. They highlight the key debates and controversies in these fields, and how global historians have contributed to our understanding of these complex historical phenomena.

The third section of the book considers a range of problems that global historians have contended with in their work. The authors address issues such as the challenges of interdisciplinary research, the ethical implications of studying global history, and the need to engage with non-Western perspectives and sources. They also discuss the role

In conclusion, Global History, Globally is a groundbreaking work that provides a comprehensive and insightful survey of the state of global history in different world regions. The book offers a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex and interconnected world we live in today. By transnationalizing and globalizing their perspectives on the past, historians have opened up new avenues for research and analysis, and have contributed to our collective understanding of the world we inhabit. As we continue to navigate the rapidly changing global landscape, this book will remain a vital tool for navigating the complexities of our past and present.
