Summary As globalization deepens and the world becomes increasingly integrated, the author argues that the time has come to revise the conventional Euro-centric view of world history. The world history that we learn and understand in the twenty-first century is already out of step and outdated. What description of history, then, is appropriate? To answer this question, the author first reviews the existing perception of world history and what is wrong with it. Subsequently, the author looks into what is the new world history that is called for and how it can be created. The author finds that more and more people are behaving with an awareness of themselves as inhabitants of this earth, willing to mutually transcend differences of views in order to let people the world over live more peacefully and happily. The author comes to propose a world history for inhabitants of the earth from the viewpoint that "there is one world."--Adapted from dust jacket.
