My understanding of history is pretty pathetic, and I am trying to improve it. Looking for a book that isn’t revisionist, racist, or full of colonial apologia. Something that goes as far back as the 15th century would be perfect.

The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber, David Wengrow is accessible and portrays history from the perspective of the colonized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything
I will say that it neglects much of African and Asian history. It’s a good look at what was happening in Europe and the Americas though.
I like this one a lot, thank you!
