“The White Man’s Burden”: Take up the White Man’s burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
Go send your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child
Take up the White Man’s burden

But there is neither East nor West, Border,

When two strong men stand face to
face, tho’ they come from the ends of the
earth!

Should we talk about global
history
In terms of
“EAST”
And
“West”?
![Page 12: Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain ...€¦ · such invention to take place. ... accepted that ancient Greek literature is genetically related to the literatures](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050610/5fb1846b19f54b2ac060360f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Yes and No
![Page 13: Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain ...€¦ · such invention to take place. ... accepted that ancient Greek literature is genetically related to the literatures](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050610/5fb1846b19f54b2ac060360f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Global history
Uneven
With borders
And yet interconnected, where the “East”
and “West” constantly meet through
discourse and practice
![Page 14: Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain ...€¦ · such invention to take place. ... accepted that ancient Greek literature is genetically related to the literatures](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050610/5fb1846b19f54b2ac060360f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I think the term “West” does have some uses: It is not always to be dismissed as nonsensical (“there’s no such thing as the West”), but nor is it to be used in the slaphappy way many people use it when they say “the West has done this, the West has done that.” But I think the term has legitimate uses. Think of it this way: if there are governments, if there are generals and politicians and bankers and even ordinary people like us, who talk about “the West”–on the European and North American continent–then there is a West. Because that is what our own activities presuppose. And in presupposing it, they partly create it, for good or for ill.

Let’s explore these two
concepts
1. Originality
2. interrelatedness

Bunch of factors Class and production: those who produce or
sell it
(Emerging) Market (s): how it is presented, distributed and consumed.
State: how governments allow such markets to grow

Innovations are historical creations, the
way humans, through interaction, come
up with novel ideas.
Then those ideas are shared, transported
and reorient historical life as the nature of
ideas shape in course of time.
