A history of civilizations

Fernand Braudel was one of the greatest historians of the twentieth century. A leading member of the Annales school, he rejected a narrow focus on Western warfare, diplomacy, and power politics, and opened up economic and social history to influences from anthropology, sociology, geography, psychology, and linguistics. In the late 1950s, when the Annales approach was widely accepted in French universities, a major reform introduced the study of "the main contemporary civilizations" into the final year of secondary schools. Traditionalists attacked the new stress on the social sciences and eventually triumphed, but Braudel was firmly committed to such changes. This marvelous survey of world history, the last of his books to be translated into English, was originally intended for French "sixth-formers."

  • "La civilisation, définie successivement par référence à l'espace, à la société, à l'économie et aux mentalités collectives, se voit identifiée avec la longue durée elle-même. Tour à tour sont présentées les civilisations de l'islam, de l'Afrique noire, de l'Extrême-Orient et de l'Occident. Un classique."
  • "La civilización incluye la forma en que una sociedad articula y organiza sus procesos sociales, su sistema de organización del trabajo, sus creencias religiosas o profanas, su ideología, la integración de las ideas científicas, sus ideas políticas, la estructura del poder, etcétera. Braudel hace un recorrido por las civilizaciones del Islam, del África negra, el Extremo Oriente y Occidente."
