Author Description

With the quick pace of social and political transformation brought on by the global technological and economic changes which took place in the 19th and 20th centuries, historians have become conscious of how the nation state has come to dominate all civilizations in a fraction of the time it has taken the world's civilizations to develop and evolve. This reissue of Bind Us in Time seeks to convey how we may be time-bound: that while we should honor the time taken to build civilizations and bind ourselves to their best achievements, it is also vital to recognize the short amount of time we have to ensure that peoples living within state boundaries come to bind with each other as modern nation states.
