Cross-Cultural History and the Domestication of Otherness

by Michal Jan Rozbicki and G. Ndege

Book Overview

This book illuminates our understanding of what happens when different cultures meet. Twelve cultural historians explore the mechanism and inner dynamic of such encounters, and demonstrate that while they often occur on the wave of global forces and influences, they only acquire meaning locally, where culture inherently resides.
