Book excerpt: "Beginning in 1522 with the sighting of two small islands in the Carolines from the Spanish ship Trinidad of Magellan's fleet, and ending in 1885 with the flag-raising missions of the German men-of-war SMS Albatros and SMS Nautilus, there are over 1,700 separate entries for the intervening years and a bibliography listing 439 sources, in five languages, ranging from near-illegible whaling logs and the massive German ethnographies on the one hand, to journal articles and scholarly monographs on the other, interspersed with contemporary traders' accounts and missionary reports [...] The individual entries contain six items of basic information, subject to their availability--namely the type of vessel, its name, its hailing port, the purpose of the voyage, name of the captain, and the dates of arrival at and departure from the island(s) visited. This is followed by a neat commentary on the visit, summarizing information of ethnographic interest, and finally a listing of the author's sources"--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Jesuits at the Margins written by Alexandre Coello de la Rosa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decades historians have interpreted early modern Christian missions not simply as an adjunct to Western imperialism, but a privileged field for cross-cultural encounters. Placing the Jesuit missions into a global phenomenon that emphasizes economic and cultural relations between Europe and the East, this book analyzes the possibilities and limitations of the religious conversion in the Micronesian islands of Guåhan (or Guam) and the Northern Marianas. Frontiers are not rigid spatial lines separating culturally different groups of people, but rather active agents in the transformation of cultures. By bringing this local dimension to the fore, the book adheres to a process of missionary “glocalization” which allowed Chamorros to enter the international community as members of Spain’s regional empire and the global communion of the Roman Catholic Church.
Download or read book Redefining Sovereignty in International Economic Law written by Wenhua Shan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-04-21 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of state sovereignty is increasingly challenged by a proliferation of international economic instruments and major international economic institutions. States from both the south and north are re-examining and debating the extent to which they should cede control over their economic and social policies to achieve global economic efficiency in an interdependent world. International lawyers are seriously rethinking the subject of state sovereignty, in relation to the operation of the main international economic institutions, namely the WTO, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The contributions in this volume, bringing together leading scholars from the developed and developing worlds, take up the challenge of debating the meaning of sovereignty and the impact of international economic law on state sovereignty. The first part looks at the issues from the perspectives of general international law, international economic law and legal theory. Part two discusses the impact of trade liberalisation on the sovereignty of both industrialised and developing states and Part three concentrates on the challenge to state sovereignty created by the proliferation of investment treaties and the significant recent growth of investment treaty based arbitration cases. Part four focuses on the domestic and international effects of international financial intermediaries and markets. Part five explores the tensions and intersections between the international regulation of trade and investment, international human rights and state sovereignty

Download or read book Pidgins and Creoles beyond Africa Europe Encounters written by Isabelle Buchstaller and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of what we know about pidgin and creole languages is the result of research into contact languages that developed as a consequence of European expansion into Africa and the Caribbean. The narrow focus on European lexifier and West African substrate languages has resulted in insufficient investigation of other contact varieties. Even more perniciously, lesser known and often under-described contact languages have not been taken into consideration when formulating supposedly general tendencies about the linguistic properties of contact languages. This volume aims to give a platform to research on the history, genesis, and typology of a number of non-European language-based contact languages. A more encompassing and diverse data-base will contribute to more accurate and comprehensive inventories of the typological features of contact languages.
