About this title

Synopsis

This study examines cross-cultural encounters before 1492 AD, focusing on the major influences that transformed Asia and Europe during that period. The author examines the political, social, economic and cultural conditions that enabled one culture to influence or suppress another.

From the Back Cover

The author examines the dynamics that brought populations in contact with each other, and he identifies distinctive patterns of conversion, conflict, and compromise that emerged from crosscultural encounters.
