The European Experience brings together the expertise of nearly a hundred historians from eight European universities to internationalise and diversify the study of modern European history, exploring a grand sweep of time from 1500 to 2000. Offering a valuable corrective to the Anglocentric narratives of previous English-language textbooks, scholars from all over Europe have pooled their knowledge on comparative themes such as identities, cultural encounters, power and citizenship, and economic development to reflect the complexity and heterogeneous nature of the European experience. Rather than another grand narrative, the international author teams offer a multifaceted and rich perspective on the history of the continent of the past 500 years. Each major theme is dissected through three chronological sub-chapters, revealing how major social, political and historical trends manifested themselves in different European settings during the early modern (1500–1800), modern (1800–1900) and contemporary period (1900–2000). This resource is of utmost relevance to today’s history students in the light of ongoing internationalisation strategies for higher education curricula, as it delivers one of the first multi-perspective and truly ‘European’ analyses of the continent’s past. Beyond the provision of historical content, this textbook equips students with the intellectual tools to interrogate prevailing accounts of European history, and enables them to seek out additional perspectives in a bid to further enrich the discipline.

Bin Wong. This book was released on 2018-10-18. China Transformed available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The assumption still made in much social science research that Europe provides a universal model of development is fundamentally mistaken, according to R. Bin Wong. The solution is not, however, simply to reject Eurocentric norms but to build complementary perspectives, such as a Sinocentric one, to evaluate current understandings of European developments. A genuinely comparative perspective, he argues, will free China from wrong expectations and will allow those working on European problems to recognize the distinct character of Western development.

Download and read online ebook The Art of the Multitude write by Jonathan Vickery. This book was released on 2016. The Art of the Multitude available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Art and culture are marginalised from mainstream debates on democracy and society, particularly with the current turbulence in Europe and the global significance of a coherent European identity and sense of cultural unity. This book explores the power of participation in art works for the formation of public memory, for the commemoration of historical events, and for an urban landscape that articulates cultural identity and recognition. The public works of German conceptual artist Jochen Gerz are a fulcrum of our exploration, but the framework is more broadly the European experience of war, conflict, peace and reconciliation, with many other relevant works from the last 25 years in Europe under discussion. The common characteristic of art works under discussion is that people of different backgrounds are invited to participate, regardless of nationality, language, religion, political affiliation or class."
