As interesting a discussion as this would be, I'd gently suggest making a new thread where it won't come with the baggage of this one.
Yeah, good point!

interesting thread. I'm not sure if "diluted" is the term I would use, but I will say that sometimes I feel like the rush to be a part of what is "hot" can result in some problems.
For example, scholars have produced some truly wonderful transnational histories in recent years and I think the move toward transnational history is, in general, a positive one. But, as someone who does not study Western Europe or the US, it sometimes feels to me as if the paradigm exists to give Americanists an excuse to talk about non-American regions without learning another language or without properly understanding the trajectories (and what influenced those trajectories) of sometimes radically different historiographies.

vmassie: Any chance you'd be willing to share what you learned RE: what to expect as an alternate? Also an alternate and I have no idea how that system works. Thanks in advance!!!
