  While pre-modernity is often considered to be the 'time' of non-European regions and modernity is seen as belonging to the West. This book intends to transcend the temporal bifurcation of that world history into 'pre-modern' and 'modern', and question its geographical split into two irreconcilable trajectories: the European and the non-European.
