Book Review

Sources of Twentieth-Century Global History. Edited by JAMES H. OVERFIELD. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 2002. Pp. xx +456. $38.76 (paper).
In teaching twentieth-century world history for twenty years, I have been frustrated by the lack of a serviceable collection of primary sources. I welcome enthusiastically, therefore, the publication of James Overfield's Sources of Twentieth-Century Global History.	1
The III primary sources, mostly printed texts but also some black-and-white visual images, are organized in four parts that are further subdivided into chapters and topics. Part One, "The World in an Era of Transformation and Western Dominance, 1880–1914," includes chapter 1, "Global Interaction in an Era of Imperialism and Migration," and chapter 2, "Seeds of Change: Politics, Society and Culture." The second of three topics in chapter 2 is "The New Voice of Women" (pp. 50–60) with selections from Bahithat al-Badya, Anna Howard Shaw, and Qui Jin, early feminist spokespersons from Egypt, the United States, and China, respectively. Part Two covers the "Decades of War, Economic Upheaval and Revolution, 1914–1939"; Part Three, "From World War II to the 1970's: Decades of Conflict, Decolonization, and Economic Recovery"; and Part Four, "Century's Close: From Cold War to Globalization."	. . .
