This book examines the story of the 'discovery of America' through
the prism of the history of the Franciscans, a socio-religious
movement with a unique doctrine of voluntary poverty. The
Franciscans rapidly developed global dimensions, but their often
paradoxical relationships with poverty and power offer an alternate
account of global history. Through this lens, Julia McClure offers
a deeper history of colonialism, not only by extending its
chronology, but also by exploring the powerful role of ambivalence
in the emergence of colonial regimes. Other topics discussed
include the legal history of property, the complexity and politics
of global knowledge networks, the early (and neglected) history of
the Near Atlantic, and the transatlantic inquisition, mysticism,
apocalypticism, and religious imaginations of place.
