Instead, he follows the multiple routes that brought Africans and people of African descent into contact with one another and with Europe, Asia, and the Americas. In weaving these stories together, Manning shows how the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean fueled dynamic interactions among black communities and cultures and how these patterns resembled those of a number of connected diasporas concurrently taking shape across the globe. Manning begins in 1400 and traces five central themes: the connections that enabled Africans to mutually identify and hold together as a global community; discourses on race; changes in economic circumstance; the character of family life; and the evolution of popular culture. His approach reveals links among seemingly disparate worlds. In the mid-nineteenth century, for example, slavery came under attack in North America, South America, southern Africa, West Africa, the Ottoman Empire, and India, with former slaves rising to positions of political prominence. Yet at the beginning of the twentieth century, the near-elimination of slavery brought new forms of discrimination that removed almost all blacks from government for half a century. Manning underscores the profound influence that the African diaspora had on world history, demonstrating the inextricable link between black migration and the rise of modernity, especially in regards to the processes of industrialization and urbanization. A remarkably inclusive and far-reaching work, The African Diaspora proves that the advent of modernity cannot be imaginatively or comprehensively engaged without taking the African peoples and the African continent as a whole into account.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49932408226065,"sku":"CIN0231144717A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50138647036177,"sku":"CIN0231144717VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50176842432785,"sku":"CIN0231144717G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231144717.jpg?v=1751228218"},{"product_id":"bravo-for-christmas-book-christine-rimmer-9780373650958","title":"A Bravo for Christmas","description":"WHEN DARIUS BRAVO WANTS SOMETHING... \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e ...he usually gets it.

This book covers a span of three centuries, integrating into a single framework the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial economic history of Dahomey. Mr Manning has pieced together an extensive body of new evidence and new interpretations: he has combined descriptive evidence with quantitative data on foreign trade, slave demography and colonial government finance, and has used both Marxian and Neoclassical techniques of economic analysis. He argues that, despite the severe strain on population and economic growth caused by the slave trade, the economy continued to expand from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, and the colonial state acted as an economic depressant rather than a stimulant.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51003137917201,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003140866321,"sku":"NIN9780521523073","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52331359043857,"sku":"NLS9780521523073","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521523079.jpg?v=1750911504"},{"product_id":"knowledge-in-translation-book-patrick-manning-9780822945376","title":"Knowledge in Translation","description":"In the second millennium CE, long before English became the language of science in the twentieth century, the act of translation was crucial for understanding and disseminating knowledge and information across linguistic and geographic boundaries.

Contributors literate in Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Minnan, Ottoman, and Persian explore the history of science in the context of world and global history, investigating global patterns and implications in a multilingual and increasingly interconnected world. Chapters reveal cosmopolitan networks of shared practice and knowledge about the natural world from 1000 to 1800 CE, emphasizing both evolving scientific exchange and the emergence of innovative science. By unraveling the role of translation in cross-cultural communication, Knowledge in Translation highlights key moments of transmission, insight, and critical interpretation across linguistic and faith communities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51008397607185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008400392465,"sku":"NIN9780822945376","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0822945371.jpg?v=1762422550"},{"product_id":"global-scientific-practice-in-an-age-of-revolutions-1750-1850-book-patrick-manning-9780822944546","title":"Global Scientific Practice in an Age of Revolutions, 1750-1850","description":"Examines key elements of science in societies across Spanish America, Europe, West Africa, India, and Asia as they increasingly overlapped each other.

Throughout each of these shifts, migration and social diversity have been central, and social institutions have existed in a delicate balance, serving not just their own members but undergoing regulation from society. Integrating approaches from world history, environmental studies, biological and cultural evolution, social anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary linguistics, Patrick Manning offers an unprecedented account of the evolution of humans and our complex social system and explores the crises facing that human system today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51019688575249,"sku":"NIN9781108747097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482137162001,"sku":"NLS9781108747097","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1108747094.jpg?v=1751015556"},{"product_id":"migration-in-world-history-book-patrick-manning-9781138295810","title":"Migration in World History","description":"In this third edition of Migration in World History, Patrick Manning presents an expanded and newly coherent view of migratory processes, conveying new research and interpretation.

The first edition of this book has been widely used in courses in African studies and African history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52132890509585,"sku":"NLS9780521642552","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780521642552.jpg?v=1757521483"},{"product_id":"global-practice-in-world-history-book-patrick-manning-9781558765016","title":"Global Practice in World History","description":"Describes university level study of world history at undergraduate and especially graduate levels, conveying some advances in conceptualization of the global past and explaining the curricula they have implemented for directing students in world historical research.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479893602577,"sku":"NLS9781558765016","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52751513125137,"sku":"NIN9781558765016","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781558765016.jpg?v=1759849414"},{"product_id":"andre-gunder-frank-and-global-development-book-patrick-manning-9780415602730","title":"Andre Gunder Frank and Global Development","description":"Containing previously unpublished material, a review of the legacy and work of Andre Gunder Frank","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52521603006737,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521603203345,"sku":"NLS9780415602730","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415602730.jpg?v=1760571493"},{"product_id":"history-of-humanity-book-patrick-manning-9781108478199","title":"A History of Humanity","description":"Humanity today functions as a gigantic, world-encompassing system. Renowned world historian, Patrick Manning traces how this human system evolved from Homo Sapiens' beginnings over 200,000 years ago right up to the present day. He focuses on three great shifts in the scale of social organization - the rise of syntactical language, of agricultural society, and today's newly global social discourse - and links processes of social evolution to the dynamics of biological and cultural evolution. Throughout each of these shifts, migration and social diversity have been central, and social institutions have existed in a delicate balance, serving not just their own members but undergoing regulation from society. Integrating approaches from world history, environmental studies, biological and cultural evolution, social anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary linguistics, Patrick Manning offers an unprecedented account of the evolution of humans and our complex social system and explores the crises facing that human system today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52589599031569,"sku":"NLS9781108478199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781108478199.jpg?v=1777112137"},{"product_id":"global-transformations-in-the-life-sciences-1945-1980-book-patrick-manning-9780822945277","title":"Global Transformations in the Life Sciences, 1945-1980","description":"The second half of the twentieth century brought extraordinary transformations in knowledge and practice of the life sciences. In an era of decolonization, mass social welfare policies, and the formation of new international institutions such as UNESCO and the WHO, monumental advances were made in both theoretical and practical applications of the life sciences, including the discovery of life's molecular processes and substantive improvements in global public health and medicine. Combining perspectives from the history of science and world history, this volume examines the impact of major world-historical processes of the postwar period on the evolution of the life sciences. Contributors consider the long-term evolution of scientific practice, research, and innovation across a range of fields and subfields in the life sciences, and in the context of Cold War anxieties and ambitions. Together, they examine how the formation of international organizations and global research programs allowed for transnational exchange and cooperation, but in a period rife with competition and nationalist interests, which influenced dramatic changes in the field as the postcolonial world order unfolded.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53008956457233,"sku":"NIN9780822945277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780822945277.jpg?v=1767970788"},{"product_id":"african-diaspora-book-patrick-manning-9780231144704","title":"The African Diaspora","description":"Patrick Manning refuses to divide the African diaspora into the experiences of separate regions and nations. Instead, he follows the multiple routes that brought Africans and people of African descent into contact with one another and with Europe, Asia, and the Americas. In weaving these stories together, Manning shows how the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Indian Ocean fueled dynamic interactions among black communities and cultures and how these patterns resembled those of a number of connected diasporas concurrently taking shape across the globe. Manning begins in 1400 and traces five central themes: the connections that enabled Africans to mutually identify and hold together as a global community; discourses on race; changes in economic circumstance; the character of family life; and the evolution of popular culture. His approach reveals links among seemingly disparate worlds. In the mid-nineteenth century, for example, slavery came under attack in North America, South America, southern Africa, West Africa, the Ottoman Empire, and India, with former slaves rising to positions of political prominence. Yet at the beginning of the twentieth century, the near-elimination of slavery brought new forms of discrimination that removed almost all blacks from government for half a century. Manning underscores the profound influence that the African diaspora had on world history, demonstrating the inextricable link between black migration and the rise of modernity, especially in regards to the processes of industrialization and urbanization. A remarkably inclusive and far-reaching work, The African Diaspora proves that the advent of modernity cannot be imaginatively or comprehensively engaged without taking the African peoples and the African continent as a whole into account.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53058680324369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53058680389905,"sku":"CIN0231144709G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780231144704.jpg?v=1769195934"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-patrick-manning.oembed?page=2","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
