It will comprise some two dozen volumes, of which some provide synoptic views of the history of particular regions while others consider the world as a whole during a particular period of time. The volumes are narrative in form, giving balanced attention to social and cultural history (in the broadest sense) as well as to institutional development and political change. Each provides a systematic account of a very large subject, but they are also both imaginative and interpretative. The Series is intended to be accessible to the widest possible readership, and the accessibility of its volumes is matched by the style of presentation and production.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Figures and Photo Credits vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Editor’s Preface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChristopher Bayly and the Making of World History xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The World Crisis, c.1900–1930: Europe and the “Middle East” 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The World Crisis, c.1900–1930: Africa, Asia and Beyond 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Authoritarianism and Dictatorship Worldwide, \u003ci\u003ec.\u003c\/i\u003e1900–1950 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Democracies and Their Discontents, \u003ci\u003ec.\u003c\/i\u003e1900–1950 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Depression: State Intervention and Popular Resistance 84\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 The Second World War and its Consequences 96\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Peripheral Conflicts and the End of Old Regimes, \u003ci\u003ec.\u003c\/i\u003e1945–1955 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 America’s Hegemony and Colonialism’s Finale, mid-1950s to 1970s 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The “Tipping Point”: World Politics and the Shock of the “Long 1980s” 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 The Expansion of Human Knowledge: The Twentieth-Century Person and Society 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 The Self and Human Society 194\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Arts, Literature and Entertainment: Crisis and Recovery 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Religion: Contestation and Revival 231\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 A Century of Killing and a Century of Crime 247\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Internationalism and Transnationalism in Theory and Practice 263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 The Shadow of Empire in the Modern World 270\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 The Pressure of People 287\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Between Two Centuries: Economic Liberalisation and Political Fragmentation, \u003ci\u003ec.\u003c\/i\u003e1991 to 2015 298\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Periods and Prophecy 323\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 333\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 363\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 379\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Overall, the great value of this last of Christopher Bayly's books is nonetheless beyond question: Remaking the Modern World is truly thought provoking and speaks to may different discussions, be it on the approach of global history...or the problems and possibilities of presentist history writing.\" \u003ci\u003eGlobal Histories\u003c\/i\u003e, Vol. 5, No. 1 (May 2019) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“As with \u003ci\u003eBirth\u003c\/i\u003e, the value of \u003ci\u003eRemaking\u003c\/i\u003e lies in the ways in which it re-reads many well-known topics.
