Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human: New Worlds, Maps and Monsters - Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories
Surekha Davies
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.
