World History Connected | Vol. 2 No. 2 | Peter Stearns: Social History and World History: Toward Greater Interaction |
 | | Certainly, during the past two decades, the so-called "cultural turn" in social history, with attention to values systems and linguistic usage and its partnership with anthropology, has tended further to reduce geographical scope. |
