Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human af Surekha Davies
Bag om Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human

Surekha Davies examines how Renaissance illustrated maps shaped ideas about peoples of the Americas, revealing how mapmakers devised detailed images and descriptions that placed peoples within a hierarchy of civility and savagery. Davies shows how ideas about monstrosity were crucial for early modern ethnology and, consequently, for colonial expansion.
