ISBN: 9780826349446 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Rio Grande was ancient long before the first humans reached its banks.

Early modern geographers and compilers of travel narratives drew on a lexicon derived from cartography's seemingly unchanging coordinates to explain human diversity.

Young proposes a new set of terms with which to understand the racialized imaginary inscribed in the scholarly texts that presented the peoples of the south as objects of an inquiring gaze from the north. Through maps, images and even textual formatting, equivalences were established...
