Synopsis

The International Reader: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Current Events and Global Issues provides students with diverse insights into major world regions and an array of complex topics and current events.

The book is organized into chapters on each of the six major world regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Oceania. It features an extensive vocabulary, regional maps, and a list of countries in each region.

The anthology employs an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging students to question, discuss, and analyze global issues across a range of disciplines and fields of study. Topics addressed include the recent surge of populism in Europe, the effects of climate change in Oceania, Islamist extremism in East Africa, the remittance economy in the Middle East, the economic and migrant crisis in Venezuela, and more.

The newly revised first edition features new content on poverty and colonialism in Africa, cuteness as Japan's millennial product, authoritarianism in Egypt, the ongoing legacy of colonialism in Australia, and the confluence of sustainability and social justice issues.

The International Reader is an ideal resource for courses in global/international studies, anthropology, sociology, geography, social studies, women's studies, and political science.
