This anthology explores the role that art and material goods played
in diplomatic relations and political exchanges between Asia,
Africa, and Europe in the early modern world. The authors challenge
the idea that there was a European primacy in the practice of gift
giving through a wide panoramic review of imperial encounters
between Europeans (including the Portuguese, French, Dutch, and
English) and Asian empires (including Ottoman, Persian, Mughal, Sri
Lankan, Chinese, and Japanese cases). They examine how those
exchanges influenced the global production and circulation of art
and material culture, and explore the types of gifts exchanged, the
chosen materials, and the manner of their presentation. Global
Gifts establishes new parameters for the study of the material and
aesthetic culture of Eurasian relations before 1800, exploring the
meaning of artistic objects in global diplomacy and the existence
of economic and aesthetic values mutually intelligible across
cultural boundaries.
