Ruptured Lives
Refugee Crises in Historical Perspective
Author Jesse Spohnholz, Series editor Jesse Spohnholz, and Clif Stratton
Roots of Contemporary Issues
- Introduces students to history from the point of view of controversial and pressing issues they already know about and many of whom already feel invested in. This Increases students' engagement, particularly for general education or required history courses.
- Every chapter models the analysis of primary sources relevant to the subject. This allows students to imagine the variety of sources available to them for historical research, and to see how historians use different kinds of sources to make conclusions.
- Every chapter models the engagement with and ways to resolve historiographical debate, helping students to understand that differences of interpretation do not preclude the respectful development of reasonable conclusions.
- Where appropriate, chapters demonstrate how historians and scholars in other fields rely on one another. Helps non-majors and general education students understand how history can relate to other fields in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
- Chapters offer depth by offering case studies in world history. Students are able to see the details of a historical argument and narrative instead of relying on surface level descriptions of historical developments.
- Each chapter models historical knowledge as constructed, not absolute, by describing recent discovery or new conclusions that have changed historians†understanding of the past, or gaps remaining in the historical records. This allows students to understand history not just as the changing events of the past, but as a process of knowledge construction still ongoing today.
- Connects pre-modern to modern history explicitly. Additionally, each chapter includes both Western and non-Western content. Allows readers to understand the deep past as connected to the present, and to see that the West has interacted with non-Western regions for centuries.
