Description
“A People’s History of the World” is a book written by Chris Harman, a British Marxist historian and political activist. The book offers a different perspective on world history, focusing on the struggles, movements, and actions of ordinary people throughout history, rather than the traditional emphasis on political leaders and elites.
In this book, Chris Harman takes a global and long-term view of history, from ancient civilizations to modern times. He explores the various social, economic, and political forces that have shaped human history and emphasizes the role of popular movements, revolutions, and class struggles in driving historical change. Harman’s approach seeks to provide a more inclusive and grassroots understanding of historical events and their impacts.
“A People’s History of the World” is influenced by Marxist and socialist ideas, and it places a strong emphasis on the working class and their efforts to challenge oppression and inequality. It covers a wide range of historical periods and regions, making it a comprehensive survey of world history from a left-wing, people-centric perspective.
