Summary

A fascinating intelligence briefing on world systems theory, some of its thinkers and, some of the debates within the field! This episode will hopefully help us in considering HOW we think about history, and how we analyze the driving force of events in the world. We're joined by the esteemed Professor Ariel Salzmann, historian of Islamic and world history.

Ariel Salzmann is a professor of Islamic and world history at Queen's University, and her research addresses theories of state formation, histories of Mediterranean communities and Muslim societies, the transformation of market systems and the making of global capitalism. Her new book, The Exclusionary West: Medieval Minorities and the Making of Modern Europe,will be out in September: https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/the-exclusionary-west/

0:39.1	Hello and welcome to guerrilla history, the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present.

0:44.5	of the School of Religion at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada. Hello, Adnan. How are you doing
0:49.5	today? I'm well, Henry. It's great to be with you. Yeah, it's always nice seeing you. I feel like it's been a little while since I've seen you, but I'm always happy to see you here. And I really like the conversations that we have every time that we get together. Unfortunately, we're not joined by our other regular co-host, Brett O'Shea, who is celebrating his birthday.

2:16.1	And as a world historian, has taught our world history, pre-modern survey course for first years and all kinds of other topics like commodities in global history and takes a very global materialist historical perspective that I think listeners will really benefit from.

2:41.3	Thanks for coming on the show, Ariel.
