Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays examine the linkages between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America in the area of intellectual production over the centuries. No other book provides such a broad coverage of the most significant intellectual influences between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. At the same time, it treats each case study with unparalleled interdisciplinary depth. Original essays by some of the most accomplished scholars from Europe, Latin America, and the United States address not only the question of the meaning of the Quincentennial of the Encounter, but also provide the first reflection on what lies ahead in terms of a research agenda and broader questions concerning the relationship between Europe and Latin America. The last ten years have been marked by an increasing interest in colonial and postcolonial studies. However, there has been a lack of anthologies in English chronicling the complex relationship between Spain, Latin America, and its colonial legacy. Bridging the Atlantic helps to fill this gap and stimulates new "dialectical encounters," as well as more comparative research on postcolonial questions.

Book Bridging the Atlantic

Download or read book Bridging the Atlantic written by Sarka B. Hrbkova and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bridging the Atlantic: A Discussion of the Problems and Methods of Americanization It was one day when crossing from aft to fore of the monster ocea'n-liner on which we sailed back to America that some one facetiously remarked, Well, one can practically walk dry shod from Europe to America. These long new ships are regular bridges, for by the time you get to the bow from the stern, she has touched the other shore. When I viewed and talked with some of the immigrants in the steerage and later with other passengers who rarely moved out of the luxurious Palm Garden or First Saloon end of the boat, my heart was a little heavy, for it seemed to me that from third cabin to first was leagues and leagues farther than from France to New York harbor.

Book Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World

Download or read book Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World written by Caroline A. Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the Early Modern Atlantic World brings together ten original essays by an international group of scholars exploring the complex outcomes of the intermingling of people, circulation of goods, exchange of information, and exposure to new ideas that are the hallmark of the early modern Atlantic. Spanning the period from the earliest French crossings to Newfoundland at the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the wars of independence in Spanish South America, c. 1830, and encompassing a range of disciplinary approaches, the contributors direct particular attention to regions, communities, and groups whose activities in, and responses to, an ever-more closely bound Atlantic world remain relatively under-represented in the literature. Some of the chapters focus on the experience of Europeans, including French consumers of Newfoundland cod, English merchants forming families in Spanish Seville, and Jewish refugees from Dutch Brazil making the Caribbean island of Nevis their home. Others focus on the ways in which the populations with whom Europeans came into contact, enslaved, or among whom they settled - the Tupi peoples of Brazil, the Kriston women of the west African port of Cacheu, among others - adapted to and were changed by their interactions with previously unknown peoples, goods, institutions, and ideas. Together with the substantial Introduction by the editor which reviews the significance of the field as a whole, these essays capture the complexity and variety of experience of the countless men and women who came into contact during the period, whilst highlighting and illustrating the porous and fluid nature, in practice, of the early modern Atlantic world.

Book Geographic Information Research

Download or read book Geographic Information Research written by Massimo Craglia and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this edited collection demonstrate that geographic information research is truly global in character, cutting across a wide range of disciplines and addressing conceptual, methodological, technical, ethical and political issues alike. Of the six themes, two are broadly concerned with data integration (geographic data infrastructures, GIS diffusion and implementation); two are more technical and conceptual in nature (generalisation, concepts and paradigms), and two reflect to a larger extent the application-driven nature of GIS technology (spatial analysis and multimedia). Each section is introduced by chapters highlighting the key research issues. Further chapters explore these issues in greater depth, and benefit from the international collaboration. Through the comparison of results included in this book, the prospects for advancing the field and addressing the challenges of GIS research are greatly improved.

Book The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast

Download or read book The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast written by Matthew W. Betts and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-05-02 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A notable contribution to North American archaeological literature, The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast is the first book to integrate and interpret archaeological data from the entire Atlantic Northeast, making unprecedented cultural connections across a broad region that encompasses the Canadian Atlantic provinces, the Quebec Lower North Shore, and Maine. Beginning with the earliest Indigenous occupation of the area, this book presents a cultural overview of the Atlantic Northeast, and weaves together the histories of the Indigenous peoples whose traditional lands make up this territory, including the Innu, Beothuk, Inuit, and numerous Wabanaki bands and tribes. Emphasizing historical connection and cultural continuity, The Archaeology of the Atlantic Northeast tracks the development of the earliest peoples in this area as they responded to climate and ecosystem change by transforming their glacier-edge way of life to one on the water’s edge, becoming one of the most successful and longstanding marine-oriented cultures in North America. Supported by more than a hundred illustrations and maps documenting the archaeological legacy, as well as discussions of unanswered questions intended to spur debate, this comprehensive text is ideal for students, researchers, professional archaeologists, and anyone interested in the history of this region.
