Beschreibung

Taylor develops a geohistorical argument which focuses on the periods and places of modernities, offering a grounded analysis of what it is to be modern. He identifies three 'prime modernities' which have defined the development of our modern world: today's consumer modernity preceded by the industrial modernity of the nineteenth century which was itself preceded by mercantile modernity.

Rezensionen

Nigel Thrift, University of Bristol
"This book reaches across disciplines, across countries and across ideologies, developing along the way a stimulating and original perspective on the making of the modern world."

Immanuel Wallerstein, Binghamton University
"Modernities is short, sensible, clear and reflective. It raises in an intelligent way the questions with which we all must deal. It is a book well worth reading."

Mark Banks, Manchester Metropolitan University, Sociological Research Online
"Modernities is to be recommended. It is highly accessible and presents complex ideas in a clear and entertaining fashion. It will interest proponents and opponents of modern thought, and would find much favour amongst sociologists, geographers and students of the social sciences more generally. The book highlights the continued importance of geographical approaches to the study of the rich and varied histories and geographies of modernity."
