Amerasia - Kindle edition by Horodowich, Elizabeth, Nagel, Alexander. Arts & Photography Kindle eBooks @ .

The Amerasia book is a groundbreaking study that challenges traditional Eurocentric narratives of history by revealing a world where Asia and America were interconnected in the cultural imagination of early modern Europe.

Through a rich array of artifacts, maps, images, and texts produced between 1492 and 1700, this book immerses readers in a vision of a connected world where Mexico was seen as India, North America was an extension of China, and South America was marked by biblical and Asian sites.

The authors pose a dynamic model of the world that was eclipsed by Eurocentric colonialist narratives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but is essential to understanding our emergent polyfocal global reality today.

This book will captivate anyone interested in history, cultural studies, or the interconnectedness of the world.
