A Cape of Asia collects eighteen of Wesseling finest essays on European History, clustered around three concerns: The Wider View, or the historical European perspective on globalization, migration and decolonization; Europe Identity, reflecting the shift from Eurocentrism to Americanization and Europe acceptance of Japan, China and India as new key players in the global economy; and European Ideas about Education, Science, and Art. The third section includes the articles 鈥楯ohan Huizinga and the Spirit of the Nineteen Thirties鈥?and 鈥楾he Expansion of Europe and the Development of Science and Technology鈥? A small cape of Asia was how Paul Val茅ry described Europe in 1919 鈥?a pointed summary of the new mood that came over Europe in the interbellum years. Wesseling essays hold to the original sense of the word: personal reflections on vast subjects written for an intellectual and interested but not necessarily specialized readership.
