非洲。除了第二部分参考书目说明中提及的非洲通史外，两部著作生动地描述了欧洲人的黑奴贸易：Basil Davidson, Black Mother: The African Slave Trade (Boston, 1961)和Eric Williams, Capitalism and Slavery (Chapel Hill, N. C., 1944). Philip D. Curtin, The Atlantic Slave Trade: A Census (Madison, Wisc., 1969) 消除了以前夸大估计被运往新大陆的黑奴数目。Leopold Marquard, The Story of South Africa (London, 1955)是一本简明扼要的著作。Robert W. July, The Origins of Modern African Thought (New York, 1968)和Philip D. Curtin, ed., Africa and the West: Intellectual Responses to European Culture (Madison, Wisc., 1972) 探讨了非洲的“第三世界”概念。
伊斯兰教世界。现代伊斯兰教世界的历史学仍然处于相当不满意的状态。下列通史著作是有帮助的：H. A. R. Gibb and Harold Bowen, Islamic Society and the West I: Islamic Society in the Eighteenth Century, 2 parts (London, 1950, 1957); Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Islam in Modern Histoy (Princeton, 1957); Gustave E. von Grunebaum, Modern Islam: the Search for Cultural Identity (Berkeley, 1962); H. A. R. Gibb, Modern Trends in Islam (Chicago, 1947); 和Gustave E. von Grunebaum, ed., Unity and Variety in Muslim Civilization (Chicago, 1955). Marshall G. S. Hodgson的杰作 The Venture of Islam 3 vols. (Chicago, 1974) 在第二部分参考书目说明中已经列出了。Clifford Geertz, Islam Observed (New Haven, 1968)分析了在伊斯兰教世界极端地区宗教与地方传统之间的相互影响。关于伊斯兰教个别地区，结果如下：George Antonius, The Arab Awakening (London, 1938); Zeine N. Zeine, The Emergence of Arab Nationlism (Beirut, 1966); Bernard Lewis, The Arabs in History, new ed. (London, 1966); Bernard Lewis, The Emergence of Modern Turkey (New York, 1961); Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Modern Islam in India: A Social Analysis, rev. ed.

印度。Percival Spear, India: A Modern History (Ann Arbor, 1961), 和他对Vincent A. Smith, The Oxford History of India 3rd ed. (Oxford, 1958)的修订本，提供了一个基本的指南。K. M. Panikkar, A Survey of Indian History, 3rd ed. (Bombay, 1956),提出了一种印度的观点。Stanley Wolpert, A New History of India (New York, 1977) 在第二部分参考书目说明中已经提及。Percy Brown, Indian Painting u
