Description
Summary:[...]this book eschews both regional and temporal constraints, and it includes a wide range of case studies from both the Old World and the New World and from both precolumbian and postcolumbian eras. Case studies from prehispanic Peru, the edge of the Aztec empire, and the iconography of Spanish colonialism in Latin America and the Philippines all take aim at simplistic notions of core/periphery dynamics in colonial empires. The case studies incorporate a wide variety of types of data, the chapters outline innovative methods to the study of colonial encounters, and the contributors engage with current theoretical models in the study of colonialism and frontiers.
