Description:
A connected world as imagined by early modern European artists, mapmakers, and writers, where Asia and the Americas were on a continuum
America and Asia mingled in the geographical and cultural imagination of Europe for well over a century after 1492. Through an array of texts, maps, objects, and images produced between 1492 and 1700, this compelling and revelatory study immerses the reader in a vision of a world where Mexico really was India, North America was an extension of China, and South America was marked by a variety of biblical and Asian sites. It asks, further: What does it mean that the Amerasian worldview predominated at a time when Europe itself was coming into cultural self-definition? Each of the chapters focuses on a particular artifact, map, image, or book that illuminates aspects of Amerasia from specific European cultural milieus. Amerasia shows how it was possible to inhabit a world where America and Asia were connected either imaginatively when viewed from afar, or in reality when traveling through the newly encountered lands. Readers will learn why early modern maps regularly label Mexico as India, why the “Amazonas” region was named after a race of Asian female warriors, and why artifacts and manuscripts that we now identify as Indian and Chinese are entangled in European collections with what we now label Americana.
Elizabeth Horodowich and Alexander Nagel pose a dynamic model of the world and of Europe’s place in it that was eclipsed by the rise of Eurocentric colonialist narratives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. To rediscover this history is an essential part of comin

Divider doesn’t work
Color: Stainless Steel
Size is great. Quality is great except for the divider, which doesn’t work at all. It’s too loose and doesn’t stay on

Something I never knew I needed, and now can’t live without!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
Absolutely perfect, high quality organizer. I was constantly reaching under the kitchen cupboards for sponges and drain stoppers which then cluttered up the sink while letting them dry before putting away. I love the size and option to put the basket on the outside edge for more space. It holds everything I need. I especially like the stone underneath so I can place it anywhere and not have to worry about a drain spout. Keeps my sink and counters clean and organized and looks great in my kitchen.

Best kitchen caddy!
Color: Black, Size: Large
This is the best kitchen caddy. It works well on the edge of my sink. It's a little bigger than I thought. My measurements were off, not there's. I propped up one side and it works beautifully. It holds all the sponges, soap, and cleaning utensils needed to clean your dishes. Now my kitchen sink is clutter-free. It also looks great!
