The Catholic University of America Press The Movement of World Revolution
Book SynopsisTrade Review“With a vision and flexibility not always apparent in cultural historians, Dawson dedicates the same ample scholarship and perceptive intelligence to the West’s relations with non-Western peoples in a period of violent world-wide revolution. By doing so he deepens our understanding of the changes shaking the world and widens our vision of the tasks before us. . . . This study of the movement of ideas that made Europe enables Dawson to give a far deeper and more satisfying account of the West’s impact on the outside world than is possible in the usual brisk history of Western colonialism and Eastern change.”—New York Times Book Review
