✦ Synopsis

How do historians make sense of the spatial layeredness of the past? Cyrus Schayegh argues that the modern world’s ultimate socio-spatial feature is not the oft-studied processes of globalization or state formation or urbanization, but rather the fast-paced, mutually transformative intertwinements of cities, regions, states, and global circuits.
