Drawing upon over fifteen years of research, working in Africa and elsewhere, in his book Renaissances: The One or the Many?, British anthropologist Jack Goody examines the European Renaissance in relation to the renaissances that have taken place in other cultural areas, mainly Islam and China, focusing on their influence on Europe.
