WSNers,

Below is a message I am forwarding from H-World (a moderated world history
list) with persion of author. I've sent one short bib suggesting shannon's
book.

In subsequent exchange of email with Robert Strayer he raised a question
about how WST & postmodernism relate, given that one of the pomo critiques
of WST is its inherent universalism...

In developing a graduate seminar introducing the field of World History to
beginning MA level students, I would like to provide an overview of the world
system approach as Wallerstein has articulated it. But I am having trouble
finding a reasonably short reading (article or chapter length) that does the
job. I'd be grateful for suggestions along this line and for any experiences
as to what has worked in teaching world system analysis.

Many thanks-- Robert Strayer, SUNY: Brockport
