Decentering the traditional narrative of American breadlines, Soviet show trials and German fascists, The Global 1930s takes a truly international approach to exploring this turbulent decade, illlustrating how the familiar events of this decade shaped and were shaped by a much wider global context. Chapters discuss topics such as the rivalry between imperial powers, colonial migration and race relations, rising anti-colonial sentiments, feminism and gender dynamics around the world, and the descent once more into global warfare. Wide-ranging and comprehensive, it is essential and fascinating reading for all students of the international history of the 1930s.
