Stearns, the eminent social historian and Chair of the Advanced Placement World History committee.The history of daily life is one of the fastest growing areas of student inquiry and popular interest.

What do our ways of celebrating holidays tell us about our cultures and ourselves? A Day in the Life offers the background information needed to start a serious look at these, and many other, fascinating and vital questions. Edited and led by Peter N.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In this innovative textbook, leading world historian Peter Stearns analyses key examples of culture change from around the world, highlighting what culture change involves and how it can be explained and assessed, both historically and in the contemporary world.Culture change is one of the most interesting and significant features of human society, but until now there has been no book for the classroom which looks explicitly at this phenomenon. Cultural Change in Modern World History covers different kinds and levels of culture change since 1500 from colonial culture contact in British India to modernization in Meiji Japan and changing attitudes towards gay marriage in the past decade considering how we should define culture change, how to deal with causation and how to evaluate continuities and consequences. Stearns addresses fundamental questions: why do groups of people change their beliefs and values, and what happens when they do? Conversely, why do some groups resist culture change, and how do some manage to combine novel and more traditional cultural components?Figuring out how better to understand why groups or societies change their minds or refuse to do so provides a crucial perspective on human behaviors and values. As the first book to explore this important question, Cultural Change in Modern World History is a ground-breaking text for students of world history, cultural history and anthropology.
