This volume brings together the work of twenty historians, anthropologists, and literary scholars who have tried to examine the nature of the encounter between Europeans and the other peoples of the world from roughly 1450 to 1800, the early modern era.

These understandings, however, are changed by experience in a constantly shifting process in which both sides participate.
