Kann das mit der europäischen und nordamerikanischen Geschichte des 19./20. Jahrhunderts verbundene Modernisierungskonzept strukturell verallgemeinert werden? Inwieweit lässt es sich forschungsstrategisch mit Gewinn historisieren? Dieser Band versteht sich als ein Experiment in der Entwicklung geschichtswissenschaftlicher Konzepte. Die Beiträge untersuchen vergangene und gescheiterte ebenso wie alternative »Modernen«. Dabei wird ein Moderne-Begriff zugrunde gelegt, der nicht durch Inhalte, sondern durch Strukturprinzipien definiert ist und beschleunigten Wandel sowie daraus hervorgehende, qualitativ neuartige Verhältnisse in den Mittelpunkt rückt. »[Es] handelt sich um einen engagierten Versuch, einen kritischen Modernisierungsbegriff in Fallstudien methodisch fruchtbar zu machen.« Andreas Weigl, Wiener Geschichtsblätter, 71/2 (2016) »Der Sammelband [präsentiert] eine beeindruckende Breite verschiedener Modernen.« Thomas Rohkrämer, sehepunkte, 15/4 (2015) Besprochen in: www.literaturkritik.de, 1 (2016), Kay Ziegenbalg

Missing from most accounts of the modern history of Jews in Europe is the experience of what was once the largest Jewish community in the world-an oversight that Gershon David Hundert corrects in this history of Eastern European Jews in the eighteenth century. The experience of eighteenth-century Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did not fit the pattern of integration and universalization-in short, of westernization-that historians tend to place at the origins of Jewish modernity. Hundert puts this experience, that of the majority of the Jewish people, at the center of his history. He focuses on the relations of Jews with the state and their role in the economy, and on more "internal" developments such as the popularization of the Kabbalah and the rise of Hasidism. Thus he describes the elements of Jewish experience that became the basis for a "core Jewish identity"-an identity that accompanied the majority of Jews into modernity.

"Globalization" has become a popular buzzword for explaining today's world. The expression achieved terminological stardom in the 1990s and was soon embraced by the general public and integrated into numerous languages. But is this much-discussed phenomenon really an invention of modern times? In this work, Jürgen Osterhammel and Niels Petersson make the case that globalization is not so new, after all. Arguing that the world did not turn "global" overnight, the book traces the emergence of globalization over the past seven or eight centuries. In fact, the authors write, the phenomenon can be traced back to early modern large-scale trading, for example, the silk trade between China and the Mediterranean region, the shipping routes between the Arabian Peninsula and India, and the more frequently traveled caravan routes of the Near East and North Africa--all conduits for people, goods, coins, artwork, and ideas. Osterhammel and Petersson argue that the period from 1750 to 1880--an era characterized by the development of free trade and the long-distance impact of the industrial revolution--represented an important phase in the globalization phenomenon. Moreover, they demonstrate how globalization in the mid-twentieth century opened up the prospect of global destruction though nuclear war and ecological catastrophe. In the end, the authors write, today's globalization is part of a long-running transformation and has not ushered in a "global age" radically different from anything that came before. This book will appeal to historians, economists, and anyone in the social sciences who is interested in the historical emergence of globalization.
