About this book

"For the past half-century, area studies scholarship has been the principal filter through which scholars, policy makers, journalists, and the general public have organized knowledge about the larger world. The essays presented here deal with diverse issues and contexts but reflect a common interest in reconsidering the political, geographical, and cultural boundaries conventionally observed by area specialists and others. Each highlights the very general theme of cross-cultural interaction and endeavors to put previously separate bodies of scholarship in dialogue with one another. By exploring interactions that have historically linked world regions, the volume contributes to the development of transregional and global historical analysis."--Jacket.
