Distinguished social scientist Jack Goody addresses a core historical question: does the European Renaissance deserve its status at the heart of our notions of modernity? Goody scrutinises the European model in relation to parallel renaissances that have taken place in other cultural areas, emphasising what Europe owed to non-European influences.
