Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This book presents corresponding images and essays of fifty early modern artefacts of encounters between European explorers and indigenous peoples, addressing relationships and material exchanges that extend beyond this framework to encompass diverse interactions across early modern societies.
The artefacts selected for inclusion in this volume convey early modern visual dialogues, value systems and imagery through paintings, photographs, maps, drawings, buildings, books, icons, sacred sites and entities, dwellings and natural settings. Placing these objects within a comparative and international context, O?Brien considers the representation of these interactions as they are expressed through a wide gamut of human emotional experiences such as life, death, grief, pain, pleasure, belief, sadness and conflict, along with the extended perspective of image reproduction. In doing so, the book locates the realities of early modern existence ? the emotional, legal, spiritual and violent encounters that encompass everyday experiences ? in an expansive and varying spatial, cultural, geographical and temporal context.
The book will interest students, scholars and general readers within a broad range of history subdisciplines including early modern history, indigenous history, comparative history and socio-legal history, and is also a useful text for undergraduate courses in politics, law, indigenous studies and global studies.
'O?Brien offers a bold and innovative analysis of meaningful emotional encounters between Europeans and Others across five geographical regions in the early modern era. The emotional dimensions of intercultural encounters, including love, desire, grief and loss, are explored through fifty objects reflecting the anxieties and tensions of the times. Focusing on material culture opens up new understandings of the complex relations and aspirations of colonizers and the people they colonized. This is a groundbreaking must read for any scholar of imperialism, colonialism and intercultural struggle.'
Eve Darian-Smith, University of California, Irvine
