Historical Practice in Diversity Transcultural Interactions from the Early Modern Mediterranean World to the Postcolonial World

While multicultural composition of nations has become a catchword in public debates, few educators, not to speak of the general public, realize that cultural interaction was the rule throughout history. Starting with the Islam-Christian-Jewish Mediterranean world of the early modern period, this volume moves to the empires of the 18th and 19th centuries and the African Diaspora of the Black Atlantic. It ends by questioning assumptions about citizenship and underlying homogeneous "received" cultures through the analysis of the changes in various literatures.Hoerder, Dirk is the author of 'Historical Practice in Diversity Transcultural Interactions from the Early Modern Mediterranean World to the Postcolonial World' with ISBN 9781571813770 and ISBN 1571813772.
