Hunt has published a fine book. In the US and beyond, the pages of .Writing History in the Global Era will virtuously underpin a thousand, thousand doctorates. -- Times Higher Education

Hunt s compact book should serve as the first port of call for students and general readers interested in how historians have interpreted and reinterpreted the emergence of the world around them. --Brendan Simms

With characteristic concision and lucidity, Lynn Hunt takes on the methodological dilemmas facing all historians today. How should we think of history in a postnational era? What is gained and lost by going global ? What happens to individual actors and agency when history is written on a transnational scale? Writing History in the Global Era draws on a wide range of writings from the humanities and the social and biological sciences to propose a thought-provoking snapshot of where historians stand now and where they might be headed. Lively and engaging, this book will help both budding and seasoned historians understand the current state of their discipline. --Sarah Maza, author of The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie
