With the rise of Prussia and, by extension, Europe, eurocentrism became the dominant paradigm for world history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmploying the approaches of Gramsci and Foucault, Peter Gran proposes a reconceptualization of world history. He challenges the traditional convention of relying on totalitarian or democratic functions of a particular state to explain and understand relationships of authority and resistance in a number of national contexts. Gran maintains that there is no single developmental model but diverse forms of hegemony that emerged out of the political crisis following the penetration of capitalism into each nation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn making comparisons between seemingly disparate and distinctive nations and by questioning established canons of comparative inquiry, Gran encourages people to recognize the similarities between the West and non-West nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Gran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815626932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815626930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Peter Gran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059854143743,"sku":"9780815626930","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b766d02-6030-4168-a760-bdcadf0bfa4b.jpg?v=1685060708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-eurocentrism-peter-gran-9780815626930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
