This article brings, firstly, a reflection on the problematization of Global History as a historiographical novelty posed by Jurandir Malerba in his analysis of its impact in the field of History of Historiography. Also on this subject, the article underlines the importance of the critique to eurocentrism and the impulse towards the de-Westernization of recent Global History. The second part of this article is based on a comparison of the impact of Global History on Ancient History, where I address the four critical points presented by Malerba in his final remarks: the advantages of performing a global analysis in historical objects; the narrative and argumentative coherence possible for such objects; the limits of academic expertise in respect to Global History and the premature obsolescence of Global History. The conclusion states the particularities of the de-westernizing critique in the new Global History and the need for Global south historians to articulate their global histories as an alternative to the ones created by global north scholars.
