Our latest releases in global history examine the afterlives of war and the stories we tell about them. In Global Easts: Remembering, Imagining, Mobilizing, Jie-Hyun Lim unpacks the global history of memory in the postwar twentieth-century from Eastern Europe to East Asia, exploring the transcultural bonds created by genocide, mourning, and political resistance. Eva-Maria Muschik’s Building States: The United Nations, Development, and Decolonization, 1945–1965 takes a bird’s-eye view of this same period, demonstrating the crucial role of international organizations in forming modern states after World War II. On the other hand, Jonathan Wyrtzen’s Worldmaking in the Long Great War: How Local and Colonial Struggles Shaped the Modern Middle East complicates this notion, arguing that local actors’ ambitions in the years leading up to and following the First World War were integral to creating the divisions, borders, and complexities that persist in the region to this day. Together, these books ask: what world did our modern global wars really create?
