Suggested bibliography for book critique (Due May 8). You may choose a different book that focuses on contemporary globalization, but please talk with me first.
Your paper should critique the book from a historical perspective. How does the book use or ignore history? How might a better awareness of history have made a better book or changed some of the assertions in this book? Or, does the book make good use of history, or a good case for the irrelevance of history?
