内容説明・目次
内容説明
This is a work of comparative cultural history, ranging from North America to the South Pacific and from the voyages of Columbus to those of Cook, which examines the cultural encounters between European explorers and non-European people and endeavours to reconstruct the experiences of both sides. In a series of case studies Bitterli investigates three types of cultural encounter: superficial contact, as in the early relations between Europe and China; a prolonged relationship, like that between the missionaries and the North American Indians; and collision, leading to the destruction of the weaker partner, as happened in the Spanish conquest of the West Indies and of Mexico.
