Vol. 18 No. 3: Fall 2021

Vol. 18, no. 3 (Fall 2021) features the Forum “Empires,” which provides comparative and classroom-oriented approaches to understanding how imperial power operated through urban planning, cartography, commerce, corporate enterprise, cultural representation, and systems of inclusion and control. Ranging across the Philippines, Japan, Rome, Mughal India, the Ottoman Empire, trans-Roman–Deccani trade, East Africa, and British literary culture, the Forum emphasizes both imperial structures and the local actors who negotiated, adapted to, or resisted them. The issue also includes an interview with Trevor R. Getz and articles on rigorous comparative world-history teaching for tenth graders and the relationship between world history and future studies.
