Dear all


Jan Wiklunds global history of peoples' movements has now been translated in  a first version into english - The Carriers of Democracy. The material is available in full text at Popular Movement Study Group homepage www.folkrorelser.nu/demokratins/carriers.html  It is the result of ten years work and a unique book covering all major peoples' movements the last 2 500 years written from a global perspective.


We now would like your help in spreading the material. First all comments are welcome. To our knowledge there is nothing similar in scope and time span. If you think this attempt at writing a global history is of interest and have critique, please write to us. The translation is provisional made by the author from the  original text in Swedish. It needs to be looked over before publishing. Finally we are looking for a publisher. Have you any ideas in this regard, please also contacts us




yours
