Global biographies

<i>Global biographies </i>provides an advanced and comprehensive analytical framework for historians to use biography as a method to write global history. Moving beyond the state-of-the-art the volume<i> </i>defines and operationalises three uniquely tailored approaches to global biographies:<i> </i>'time and periodisation' 'exceptional normal' and 'space and scales'. From Icelandic communists and Jewish medical students via Zambian Third Worldism and Albanian nationalism to the Black/White Atlantic and Australian internationalists the volume tests the prospects and pitfalls of the approaches it launches.
