Traditional histories of North and South America often leave the impression that Native American peoples had little impact on the colonies and empires established by Europeans after 1492. This groundbreaking study, which spans more than 300 years, demonstrates the agency of indigenous peoples in forging their own history and that of the Western Hemisphere. By putting the story of the indigenous peoples and their encounters with Europeans at the center, a new history of the "New World" emerges in which the Native Americans become vibrant and vitally important components of the British, French, Spanish, and Portuguese empires. In fact, their presence was the single most important factor in the development of the colonial world. By discussing the "great encounter" of peoples and cultures, this book provides a valuable, new perspective on the history of the Americas.

Download and read online ebook The Great Encounter of China and the West, 1500-1800 write by David E. Mungello. This book was released on 2005. The Great Encounter of China and the West, 1500-1800 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the twenty-first century, China has emerged as the leading challenger to U.S. global dominance. China is often seen as a sleeping giant, emerging out of poverty, backwardness, and totalitarianism and moving toward modernization. However, history shows that this vast country is not newly awakening, but rather returning to its previous state of world eminence. With this compelling perspective in mind, D. E. Mungello convincingly shows that contemporary relations between China and the West are far more like the 1500-1800 period than the more recent past. This fully revised second edition retains the clear and concise qualities of its predecessor, while developing important new social and cultural themes such as gender, sexuality, music, and technology. Drawing from the author's thirty years of experience teaching world history, this book illustrates the importance of history to students and general readers trying to understand today's world.

The Greatest Encounter is like no other book in the world. In every generation, God does a spectacular thing to awaken the sons of light from their slumber and display His sovereign grace and mercy to the undeserving. This book outlines such an unusual triumphant encounter that will guarantee a definite, express change in your life, mentality, and walk with the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ Glorified. Every day, many sincere people perish in the realm of the Spirit, and such destruction manifests in the physical world. Sincerity alone cannot save you. It is not an alternative to knowledge. The key is both sincerity and embracing the truth. There is no affliction in the physical realm that not traceable to the spiritual realm. A human being is over ninety percent spiritual, so to be ignorant of spirituality is absolute negligence, detrimental to your well-being. Nevertheless, most people are still uninterested in spiritual matters. Anything traceable to negative or positive spirituality works. Satan and his agents run on negative spirituality. They are wreaking havoc on Earth. The children of God who are supposed to be the most powerful people on Earth have neglected to learn what they ought to know about positive spirituality. The effect of this negligence is evident in the lives of the children of God everywhere on earth today. The Greatest Encounter is an eye opener, it takes the guess work out of developing a strong and effective relationship with the Almighty creator, Jesus Christ Glorified. "Knowledge is power to those who have it and use it."

Download and read online ebook Allegories of Encounter write by Andrew Newman. This book was released on 2018-11-05. Allegories of Encounter available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Presenting an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to colonial America's best-known literary genre, Andrew Newman analyzes depictions of reading, writing, and recollecting texts in Indian captivity narratives. While histories of literacy and colonialism have emphasized the experiences of Native Americans, as students in missionary schools or as parties to treacherous treaties, captivity narratives reveal what literacy meant to colonists among Indians. Colonial captives treasured the written word in order to distinguish themselves from their Native captors and to affiliate with their distant cultural communities. Their narratives suggest that Indians recognized this value, sometimes with benevolence: repeatedly, they presented colonists with books. In this way and others, Scriptures, saintly lives, and even Shakespeare were introduced into diverse experiences of colonial captivity. What other scholars have understood more simply as textual parallels, Newman argues instead may reflect lived allegories, the identification of one's own unfolding story with the stories of others. In an authoritative, wide-ranging study that encompasses the foundational New England narratives, accounts of martyrdom and cultural conversion in New France and Mohawk country in the 1600s, and narratives set in Cherokee territory and the Great Lakes region during the late eighteenth century, Newman opens up old tales to fresh, thought-provoking interpretations.
