{"product_id":"early-american-cartographies-9780807834695","title":"Early American Cartographies","description":"Maps were at the heart of cultural life in the Americas from before colonization to the formation of modern nation-states. The fourteen essays in \u003ci\u003eEarly American Cartographies\u003c\/i\u003e examine indigenous and European peoples' creation and use of maps to better represent and understand the world they inhabited. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from both current historical interpretations and new interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection provides diverse approaches to understanding the multilayered exchanges that went into creating cartographic knowledge in and about the Americas. In the introduction, editor Martin Bruckner provides a critical assessment of the concept of cartography and of the historiography of maps. The individual essays, then, range widely over space and place, from the imperial reach of Iberian and British cartography to indigenous conceptualizations, including dirty, ephemeral maps and star charts, to demonstrate that pre-nineteenth-century American cartography was at once a multiform and multicultural affair. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume not only highlights the collaborative genesis of cartographic knowledge about the early Americas; the essays also bring to light original archives and innovative methodologies for investigating spatial relations among peoples in the western hemisphere. Taken together, the authors reveal the roles of early American cartographies in shaping popular notions of national space, informing visual perception, animating literary imagination, and structuring the political history of Anglo- and Ibero-America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors are: \u003cbr\u003eMartin Bruckner, University of Delaware \u003cbr\u003eMichael J.
