This volume brings together the work of 20 historians, anthropologists, and literary scholars in an examination of the nature of the encounter between Europeans and the other peoples of the world from 1450 to 1800, the Early Modern Era. The European vision of others is examined first with special emphasis on Spain and the Columbian voyages. The next series of essays focuses on how other peoples viewed Europeans in a series of case studies on Persia, the Aztecs, the Kongo, Japan, South and Southeast Asia. The third group of essays explores the ways in which peoples tried to bridge cultural contacts and challenges. The final section examines the nature of eighteenth-century encounters in the Pacific, Australia, and America. Here, noted scholars grapple with the questions of how we observe and what cultural observation reveals about ourselves as well as others. This volume is world-wide in scope but is unified by the underlying theme that implicit understandings influence every culture's ideas about itself and others. These understandings are changed by experience in a constantly shifting process in which both sides participate, making such encounters complex historical events and moments of discovery
