What is History
by E
About This Novel
This book does not seek to prove historical events or chronology, but is committed to guiding readers to think and explore the new mission of current history - how to re-understand and study history? Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, connected by the ocean, were successively reconnected through religion, media, and electronic technology. The author uses various means such as contemporary photography, film, opera, music and even comics to present the current situation of the integration of mixed cultural and historical heritage in the post-colonial world. He uses the diversity of several continents in the world as the basis for rewriting history, and depicts a history of the intersection between Islam and Christianity, and the cultural spirit of capitalism and socialism. In this book, readers will experience the different positions and mentality of European colonists, colonial elites, colonial natives and mixed-race descendants, traveling between North America where Mexico is located, South America where Peru and Brazil are located, Europe represented by Portugal and Spain, the Muslim world of the Ottoman Empire, and China and Malaysia in the Far East. From "time" to "space", from "local" to "global", from "present" to "past", from "fragmentation" to "reshaping", this book will lead readers to jointly explore a "global history" in which time, space and subjects are intertwined.
