A Reading: "Our Present Concern: Historicism, Teleology, and Contingent Histories of a More Democratic Past"

As scholars have attempted to move away from Eurocentric views over the past few decades and integrate disparate parts of the world into a more democratic narrative of world history, they have increasingly relied on the present as an empirical guidepost.

This article attempts to explore these views from two critical angles. We need your support for more episodes, consider giving to our GoFundMe: ⁠⁠⁠https://gofund.me/04e5824c⁠⁠⁠.
