Thank you for this. I bought Josephine Quinn’s book because of this video. Incredible thoughts and insights. Thank you for exposing us to so many great authors
Q. @ 34:01 Does new global history (ala Quinn) criticize "civilizational thinking" or does it imagine that history can dispense with all "civilizational history" including micro-histories , locales, quasi-autonomous cultures etc.?
it is excellent that the history wonks/boffins are embracing the view that history is relationships. between people, areas, cities, tribes, what-have-you. that it's not just "great men", the dates of their accomplishments, and the minutiae that shaped their personalities. what such a conceptual approach does, is defuse the more malignant aspects of nationalism. aspects which are being increasing exploited by some (rather a lot of them) politicians for their own benefit. you can't claim to be "pure blood" if it is easily proven by a quite simple DNA test that your ancestry is distinctly *not* pure, but indeed miscegenous.

Her entire book is built around this strawman that western historians have thought that the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians etc have been these isolated power houses. This is not how people and historians have understood these "civilizations". It's a core misunderstanding or rather it's a small lie that she knows will sell the book to people who haven't studied the periods or subjects in any serious way.

Eritrean sea is indeed the correct description.
it is excellent that the history wonks/boffins are embracing the view that
history is relationships.
between people, areas, cities, tribes, what-have-you.
that it's not just "great men", the dates of their accomplishments,
and the minutiae that shaped their personalities.
what such a conceptual approach does, is defuse the more malignant aspects of
nationalism.
aspects which are being increasing exploited by some (rather a lot of them) politicians
for their own benefit.
you can't claim to be "pure blood" if it is easily proven by a quite simple DNA test
that your ancestry is distinctly *not* pure, but indeed miscegenous.
