Through interdisciplinary essays covering the wide geography of
Spanish and Portuguese empires, Iberian Empires and the Roots of
Globalization investigates the diverse networks and multiple
centers of early modern globalization that emerged in conjunction
with Iberian imperialism. Iberian Empires and the Roots of
Globalization argues that Iberian empires cannot be viewed apart
from early modern globalization. From research sites throughout the
early modern Spanish and Portuguese territories and from distinct
disciplinary approaches, the essays collected in this volume
investigate the economic mechanisms, administrative hierarchies,
and art forms that linked the early modern Americas, Africa, Asia,
and Europe. Iberian Empires and the Roots of Globalization
demonstrates that early globalization was structured through
diverse networks and their mutual and conflictive interactions
within overarching imperial projects. To this end, the essays
explore how specific products, texts, and people bridged ideas and
institutions to produce multiple centers within Iberian imperial
geographies. Taken as a whole, the authors also argue that despite
attempts to reproduce European models, early Iberian globalization
depended on indigenous agency and agency of African descent, which
often undermined or changed these models. The volume thus relays a
nuanced theory of early modern globalization: the essays outline
the Iberian imperial models that provided templates for future
global designs and simultaneously detail the negotiated and
conflictive forms of local interactions that characterized that
early globalization. The essays here offer essential insights into
historical continuities in regions colonized by Spanish and
Portuguese monarchies.
