Abstract

Global History: Interactions between the Universal and the Local. Edited by a. g. hopkins. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006. 336 pp. $99.95 (cloth); $33.95 (paper). The present volume is part of a rapidly growing body of literature generated over the past decade that focuses on the multifaceted dialogue between the thoroughly intertwined forces of globalization and particularism and the paradoxical simultaneity--the copresence--and complicated interpenetration of both universalizing and localizing tendencies. These studies on the reciprocal process of "glocalization" emphasize the hybridity of universal principles and local identities and confirm the dual theme of integration and fragmentation underlying the premodern and modern world(s).1 Global History, except for the brief afterword by William McNeill, is the finished product of a self-styled "in-house co-operative" (p. x), a collective enterprise of the department of history at the University of Texas at Austin, presided over by Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins, a leading historian of British imperialism who has made important contributions to the study of globalization and world history, and his colleagues identify and trace specific ways in which the universal and the local have interacted to produce diversity as well as uniformity.
