The End of the Old World? Understanding the power relations that transoceanic settlements and trade opened up.

The End of the Old World? Understanding the power relations that transoceanic settlements and trade opened up. Jonathan Scott is one of the leading historians of 17th-century England. Here he continues the admirable expansion of his horizons to include oceans and the power relations that transoceanic settlements and trade opened up. But the book’s main aim is to use this international dimension to frame an argument about ‘how the old world ended’.  His model depends on the viability of familiar ideas: that there was a single ‘old world’, and that its undoubted evolution was rapid enough to be historically analysed as an ‘end’. Yet Scott explores neither problem. With no doubts about the categories, he can advance his case in an extreme form: ‘Fewer than three hundred years ago there occurred the most fundamental reordering of human existence since the beginning of agriculture’; there was ‘an exponential Industrial Revolution in Britain from about 1780’. The Industrial Revolution ‘c...

On this day, 15 May 1948, the British mandate in Palestine ended on the date which is now

Image
On this day, 15 May 1948, the British mandate in Palestine ended on the date which is now  commemorated as Nakba Day - meaning “catastrophe”. Israel declared independence a few hours beforehand, and British forces withdrew that day. The Nakba refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to make way for the establishment of the state of Israel as a Jewish ethnostate. The United Nations had approved a plan to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. According to that plan, the 30% of the population which was Jewish would be given 70% of the land. But around 42% of the population of this land would still be Palestinian Arabs.  To ensure a bigger demographic majority, in December 1947 Zionist militias began a programme of ethnic cleansing, to expel the Palestinian Arab population. One early operation was an attack by the Irgun against the village of al-Tira, which killed 12 Palestinians and injured six others. Albert Einstein and other Jewish intellectuals descr...

Imagine a network of trails carved into the very spine of mountains

Imagine a network of trails carved into the very spine of mountains , traversed by a tireless flow of human porters bearing precious cargo on their backs. This was the reality of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, a vital artery of trade that snaked through the rugged landscapes of southwestern China, connecting the tea-rich regions of Sichuan with Tibet for centuries. A photograph from 1908 captures a poignant moment along this arduous route in Sichuan Sheng: porters, their bodies bent under the weight of tightly compressed tea packages, their faces etched with determination, embarking on a journey that was as much a lifeline as it was a testament to human endurance. The Tea-Horse Road was more than just a trade route; it was a conduit of culture, a pathway for the exchange of not only tea and horses (the primary commodities traded) but also religion, customs, and ideas between the Han Chinese and the Tibetan people. The porters, often walking for weeks or even months, faced treacherous terr...
