About the book

The West is a history book for adult readers.

A radical account of how the idea of the West has shaped history, told through the lives of fourteen fascinating figures. Naoise Mac Sweeney challenges the familiar notion of Western civilisation as a continuous line from classical antiquity to the modern West.

Through figures including a Roman matriarch, an Islamic scholar, an enslaved African American poet and a British prime minister, the book explores how this version of history was created, how it has been used and why it deserves reconsideration.
