A Very Brief History of Western Civilization
.
.
Dr. Roy Casagranda challenges the foundations of how we define “Western Civilization.” He traces the origins of government, writing, and religion in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, arguing that civilization predates writing and even agriculture. Roy also dismantles the artificial East–West divide, spotlighting Persia and the Islamic Golden Age as essential parts of Western history often erased from traditional narratives. With humor, insight, and rigor, he calls for a re-examination of the West’s origin story—and what it really means to be “Western.”
