Modern World History: New Perspectives (OERI)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
This is a collaborative project involving many authors who look at the history of the modern world through the lens of anti-racism, equity, and social justice. We offer some suggestions for a better way forward for teaching, writing, and thinking about our collective human past. This book represents a start of a complex process of reckoning that history as a discipline must undergo.
