World in the Making by Bonnie G Smith
Featuring a renowned author team and the best recent scholarship, World in the Making is the first world history text to explore both the global and local dimensions of world history. Abundant full-colour maps and images, along with other special pedagogical features that highlight the lives and voices of the world's peoples, make this new synthesis accessible and memorable for students.
World in the Making offers a true 'people's history,' retelling the stories of all of the world's people in a lively and manageable synthesisWhile maintaining the important aspects of political and economic history of key civilizations, the text also focuses on the histories of ordinary people * including women and children *
Often, world history textbooks analyze the past using a top-down approach, emphasizing political and military history, and paying most attention to 'great men' in history. One of the exceptional strengths of World in the Making is its focus on cultural and social history and its analysis of social hierarchies based on gender, race, and class. * Kris Alexanderson, University of the Pacific *
This is a terrific book that is conceptually strong and helps students to understand the world we live in today. It is especially effective in weaving together the stories of men and women of different races and classes throughout the narrative. * Nancy Fitch, California State University at Fullerton *
World in the Making offers a compelling use of major world history themes. Its innovative focus interweaves various peoples and cultures seamlessly throughout the text. The diverse array of peoples embedded within each chapter helps students see larger historical patterns and introduces them to potentially unknown cultures. * Rebecca Hayes, Northern Virginia Community College *
By emphasizing interactions between cultures and societies and by focusing on the voices of traditionally marginalized groups, World in the Making provides a nuanced examination of world history that encourages students to question previous assumptions about the past and explore historical events and themes from multiple perspectives." Sara Black, Christopher Newport University
