A New Perspective on the History of Humanity: From Shaved Men’s Legs to Unexpected Alliances
What history is has long been decided by Western men. This is where Morgane Llanque steps in, offering a new perspective on the history of the world. What is labeled today as »foreign« and »woke« has, in reality, always been present: She tells of Roman emperors who shaved their legs, Muslim scholars at the court of Frederick II, alliances between white Southerners and the Black Panthers, and women in the Andes who hunted during the Stone Age. Thus, a different history of power, sexuality, skin color, faith, class, and justice emerges from a global perspective. Llanque, in her grand panorama of world history, highlights commonalities rather than differences and shows how diversity has always propelled us forward.
