Abstract
BOOK REVIEWS | 159 alternative modernity to this international trend is, unfortunate- ly, not investigated in this book. Eloquent as it is to address the plurality of global history discussions in a plural world, readers need an additional meta- discourse in order to piece together the nation-specific global history discourses and to make sense of, for example, the Chi- nese modernity in a global context. An extra chapter for analyz- ing and problematizing the various global history discourses in the context of the criss-cross of the power of the globalization and the regional academic politics to control the former would have been a better finish than the epilogue for summarizing the background of the international rise of the global history dis- course. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that Global Perspectives on Global History is the most balanced and ambitious introduc- tion to global history in true sense among the ones published so far.
