Exploring the Explorers: Spaniards in Oceania 1519-1794 is the
first study of cross-cultural engagements between the indigenous
peoples of the Pacific and Spanish explorers during the early
modern period. Bridging disciplines, the book sets out to analyse
in detail eight main voyages and their aims and outcomes, looking
at the different patterns of contact and the use of gift-giving and
bartering as social cement. This fascinating and original study
will broaden the investigation of world exploration and Pacific
ethnography, as many of the sources from these voyages are scarcely
known and have not been translated before. It will also expand an
understanding of Spanish and world exploration, developing the
history of the Spanish Pacific beyond the long-standing colony of
the Philippines. The study will be of particular interest to
scholars and students of Early Modern European history as well as
anthropologists, ethnographers and those interested in stories of
exploration and discovery throughout history. -- .
