A Global History of the Developing World
'Christopher White has written a stimulating book that will take the reader on a tour of three continents - Latin America, Asia and Africa. The book provides a comprehensive history of the developing world based on the author’s profound knowledge of economic and social history over the last six centuries. The reader is not only provided with a new roadmap of World History but also with an alternative way of understanding key contemporary issues, such as global poverty or inequality. This book is highly recommended for students and their teachers in both social science and history.'- Katsushi Imai,University of Manchester, UK
