The Great Awakening

Wolfgang Behringer

A Global History of the Early Modern Period

The European discovery of America and the establishment of seafaring between the continents led to the dawning of a new epoch in global history. The exchange conducted between the civilizations of this world became increasingly diverse – as did, of course, the conflicts. Wolfgang Behringer unfurls a global panorama of the early modern period taking into account6 the perspectives of all the cultures involved, painting an entirely new picture of this period.

At center stage are the global events that changed the course of world history, global places that became the main hubs of exchange, and global topics and structures like colonialism and racism. We travel in spirit to Africa and America, to India and Indonesia, to Russia, China, and Japan, and through Europe, which first had to catch up in terms of its civilizational development. Wolfgang Behringer describes the important contexts and tells the stories of the individuals who experienced and shaped this period. His book portrays the world history of a great epoch for our own time and is also a true pleasure to read.
