What is certain is that Columbus's discovery of the New World resulted in biological and cultural exchanges unprecedented in the history of human populations.\n\nThis volume brings together 11 scholars - from both sides of the Atantic and from the disciplines of history, archaeology, anthropology, geography and biology - to discuss the nature of the European conquest and its consequences.\n\nA major them is the complex process by which Europeans and Amerindians adapted to create new criollo cultures which are distinctively American: the successess and failures of this process are evident in Latin America today.\n\nThe multidisciplinary scope of this volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of the enormous changes that followed Columbus' expedition.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: European history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on European history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22European%20history%20%5BHBJD%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP\/British Academy","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253130391832,"sku":"9780197261347","price":68.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197261347.jpg?v=1781271951","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-meeting-of-two-worlds-europe-and-the-americas-1492-1650-hardback-9780197261347","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
