Global biographies offers a thorough historiographical intervention, a new set of biographical approaches to global history – ‘time and periodization’, ‘exceptional normal’ and ‘space and scales’ – and a broad and critically reflective set of case-studies spanning the globe. -- .
Global biographies provides an advanced and comprehensive analytical framework for historians to use biography as a method to write global history. Moving beyond the state-of-the-art, the volume defines and operationalises three uniquely tailored approaches to global biographies: ‘time and periodisation’, ‘exceptional normal’ and ‘space and scales’. From Icelandic communists and Jewish medical students, via Zambian Third Worldism and Albanian nationalism, to the Black/White Atlantic and Australian internationalists, the volume tests the prospects and pitfalls of the approaches it launches. -- .
