Reviews

A very rich volume on a subject that has had, and still has, a profound impact on historiography all around the world. A must-read for all those who want to gain insight into the history of historiography beyond the classical Eurocentric perspective. Berber Bevernage, Ghent University, Belgium Isn't Marxism dead? Hardly. As demonstrated in this collection edited by Wang and Iggers, the global influence of Marxist thought is stitched into our intellectual DNA, revealing itself whenever we analyze economic inequality around the world or write history from the bottom up. David C. Fisher, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA
