Ranging geographically from Tierra del Fuego to California and the
Caribbean, and historically from early European sightings and the
utopian projects of would-be colonizers to the present-day cultural
politics of migrant communities and international relations, this
volume presents a rich variety of case studies and scholarly
perspectives on the interplay of diverse cultures in the Americas
since the European conquest. Subjects covered include documentary
and archaeological evidence of cultural interaction, the collection
of native artifacts and the role of museums in the interpretation
of indigenous traditions, the cultural impact of Christian missions
and the representation of indigenous cultures in writings addressed
to European readers, the development of Latin American artistic
traditions and the incorporation of motifs from European classical
antiquity into modern popular culture, the contribution of
Afro-descendants to the cultural mix of Latin America and the
erasure of the Hispanic heritage from cultural perceptions of
California since the nineteenth century. By offering accessible and
well-illustrated accounts of a wide range of particular cases, the
volume aims to stimulate thinking about historical and
methodological issues, which can be exploited in a teaching context
as well as in the furtherance of research projects in a comparative
and transnational framework.
