Rewriting the History of Humanity. Volume I The Fragmentary Age

In Rewriting the History of Humanity: The Fragmentary Age, Abdesselam Cheddadi offers a major new interpretation of human history from the origins of humanity to the threshold of modern globalization. Combining historical theory, anthropology, sociology, and global history, the book challenges linear and Eurocentric narratives by proposing a new framework centered on "Relevant Spatio-Temporal Units," means of power, and ontological initiative. Drawing inspiration from Ibn Khaldun while engaging critically with thinkers such as Hegel, Marx, Weber, Wallerstein, and contemporary global historians, Cheddadi redefines how historical formations can be compared without reducing their plurality to a single civilizational model.
