Submit ReviewHistory is the study of the past. Oftentimes we tend to forget that history still existed and is worth studying during times that wouldn't be considered earth-shattering or momentous. Could the study of "ordinary history" teach us something important about the way we look at the past? Could it teach us something about ourselves specifically or human nature in general?
This is part one in a three part series based on the recent book "China Tripping," which chronicles the ordinary interactions of so called westerners traveling in China. Different academics and historians contributed essays about some of their most memorable experiences in China. The essays run the gamut from hilarious to tragic, and provide an important reminder of shared humanity.
