About
ModernMatrix reframes modern history as a global phenomenon, examining how societies across Asia, Africa, and the Americas participated in and shaped modernization processes often attributed solely to European innovation.
By comparing different paths to modernity and analyzing global networks of exchange, ModernMatrix reveals how the modern world emerged through complex interactions between multiple societies rather than simple diffusion from Europe to the rest of the world.
Advanced scholars and researchers rely on ModernMatrix for sophisticated analysis that integrates multiple regional traditions and challenges conventional narratives of modern development. Each article contributes to decolonizing modern history by revealing global contributions to modernization.
