Conflict and Cooperation

Documents on Modern Global History, Second Edition

Tracey J. Kinney

Organized around the themes of conflict and cooperation, this is a comprehensive and engaging collection of primary documents for the study of twentieth- and twenty-first century history. With balanced coverage of both western and non-western modern global history, the new second edition has been significantly expanded to include important documents on Latin America and the Islamic world, as well as key documents related to technology and the environment. These primary documents allow students to 'witness' crucial moments in modern history through the words of the men and women who actually experienced and influenced these events.

Readership : Students enrolled in history courses covering world history of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Reviews

"More than passing attention is paid to the non-European world. The readings are edited to a useable length, in that they are long enough to convey a substantial argument, and short enough so that several could be assigned each week. The annotated lists of 'recommended reading' and 'recommended viewing' are rich and useful, and again take pains to find sources from the non-European world. The introductions to each chapter are valuable for setting a broad context, and lead efficiently into the specific readings to follow."

--Philip S. Zachernuk, Dalhousie University, Department of History
"One of its major strengths is the general theme of conflict and cooperation, and how it is presented in the general introduction to the book as well as the specific introductions to each chapter. It gives a sense that this is not just a mere compilation of documents but a consistent selection according to a major theme that informed twentieth-century world history."

--Jorge Nallim, University of Manitoba, Department of History
