Eve since I learned about Palestine and its history, I wanted to know more about the world. I wanna learn everything. I never liked studying when I was in school but now I’m craving for new knowledge. I got a book about the history of religion which I’m reading rn. I want to know more books about history of our world. Especially the ugliness and the beauty of our world. I want to start off by reading brief history that are for beginners but I don’t know which book is the best. I bought Silk Road but it’s pretty thic and I need something lighter that explains history more briefly but also not from Eurocentric viewpoint. I also want to know non fiction books about injustice in our world.
One book to consider would be “Prisoners of Geography”. It gives some succinct insight into various geographical conflicts around the world (such as Middle East and Ukraine/Russia amongst others). The author has written follow up books as well.
