Cross-Cultural History and the Domestication of Otherness

Rozbicki, M.; Ndege, G.

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.
