First published in 1997, this is the first of two volumes. It looks
at the process of European expansion which brought into contact
societies and cultures across the world which had been initially
alien to one another. Conflict, and violent conflict, was one
aspect of this interaction, but accommodation, mutual adaptation,
and institutional and behavioural synthesis were also present
though often biased in favour of European norms. The intent of this
book is to avoid treating 'colonization', 'dominance' and
exploitation' as the only focuses of attention. In the first volume
Robert Forster explores issues of formative influences, the impact
of Eurocentrism on historiography and the reaction against it, and
the differing approaches and perceptions of the Europeans, notably
the Spanish, French and English. In this period he distinguishes
three modes of interaction: that of the trading empires, generally
in Africa and Asia, where the European control of the encounter was
slighter; and those of the regions of settlement, as in North
America, and of exploitation, typified by the Caribbean, where the
European impact was profound. The second volume focuses on the
Americas, and uses the topics of religion, class, gender, and race
as its points of entry.
