Overseas History
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Henk Wesseling’s essay on Overseas History basically deconstructs traditional paradigms of history, which, according to the author have conventionally focused on ethnocentrism, militarism, and imperialism as a means of understanding history. However, in a non-colonial world, one which continues to increase its similarity of economic systems and de-emphasize national boundaries, history is more appropriately viewed from an economic perspective in modern times. As Huizinga wrote, “Our civilization is the first to have for its past the past of the world, our history is the first to be world history” (Wesseling 89). What this means is that American history is not a history based on us versus them, or, rather, one whose only history of “them” comes from “us”, as was typical with European history and the non-European peoples it chronicled.
